Evaluation of ESX Server Under CPU Intensive Workloads

Tags:
processors

Overview Virtual machines are used by IT departments to provide better hardware utilization and to isolate users and programs from each other. The paper explores how configuration changes affect the throughput of virtual machines hosted on ESX Server during CPU intensive workloads. In particular the paper explores how Hyper-Threading, Virtual SMP, and the amount of RAM allocated affect throughput. Hyper-Threading is Intel's implementation of simultaneous multithreading technology and was introduced with the Xeon processor. Virtual SMP allows ESX Server to host virtual machines with two virtual processors.

Sun goes for new-look Java

Java, along with Solaris and the Sun Open Network Environment (Sun ONE) server software suite, let Sun hold influence even as it lets outside technology such as Intel and AMD processors or the Linux operating system into its fold.

Sun signs new Linux partnership

These products run on all four of IBM's server lines and on machines built around Intel's Itanium and Xeon processors and AMD's Opteron processor. Geck said SuSE believes the issue shouldn't affect Linux users in any case.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
