Application Performance Testing in VMware Environments: Identify and Control Performance and Capacity Risks
Overview VMware Infrastructure allows IT organizations to consolidate underutilized servers, reduce power consumption, improve agility in introducing new business services, and improve disaster recovery and business continuity planning. It does so by introducing a level of abstraction between the underlying hardware and the operating system that run the business applications. This abstraction breaks the tight coupling between the software that provides the business service and the hardware that it resides on, making it possible to host multiple operating system images on a single hardware box as well as migrate live operating systems from one box to another. However, this abstraction alters the direct and straightforward relationship between application performance characteristics such as response time and throughput and the hardware resource and capacity utilization.
