The Scalable Enterprise: Price/Performance Benefits of VMware ESX Server on the Dell PowerEdge 6650 vs. the IBM xSeries 445

Overview This paper examines the price/performance ratio of VMware server virtualization software on two 4-processor Dell PowerEdge 6650 servers, compared to a competitive 8-processor system. By comparing a virtualization deployment based on two 4-processor Dell PowerEdge 6650 servers to a single 8-processor IBM xSeries 445 server, both running the same VMware virtualization software stack, they demonstrate that the Dell configuration delivers 27% better price/performance than the IBM server.
