VMware ESX Server 2: Best Practices Using VMware Virtual SMP

Overview VMware Virtual SMP is an add-on software module that allows VMware ESX Server to run virtual machines using multiple virtual CPUs. Multi-threaded applications such as databases and mail servers, and other applications that use multiple processes, can support greater loads when deployed using symmetric multi-processing (SMP) virtual machines, as compared to virtual machines with a single virtual CPU. This white paper describes best practices for deploying Virtual SMP and achieving the highest levels of application performance and throughput.
