LAMP Performance Characterization and Sizing on VMware ESX Server 2.5.1 and Dell PowerEdge 1855 Blade Servers

Overview This paper provides the findings from performance characterization and sizing tests for Dell PowerEdge 1855 Blade Server running VMware ESX Server 2.5.1. Dell Scalable Enterprise team ran tests that simulated an OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) workload in a virtualized LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) environment. By using the analysis of the test results in this paper, Systems Engineers and IT Architects can determine the appropriate number of VMs to host on top of ESX Server for a typical transactional LAMP based workload; how to optimize the configuration for VMs (Virtual Machines); and how to achieve effective workload and virtual machine scaling.
