Microsoft Hyper-V Server is a robust virtualization platform primarily suited for Windows-based environments, offering strong performance and management tools but limited flexibility and higher costs. In contrast, OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing platform that provides extensive customization and multi-tenancy capabilities, making it ideal for large-scale cloud deployments, though it comes with a steeper learning curve and increased setup complexity.
