Virtualization Update
Virtualization Update | August 28, 20092
Virtualization Use Cases
Business Continuity•Improve disaster recovery •Enable geographic diversification•Add high availability options
Test and Development• Improve resource utilization • Provision new applications in minutes• Increase user uptime
Hosted Client• Improve data and application security • Simplify management• Reduce client infrastructure costs
Consolidation•Minimize capital expenditures •Reduce operating costs•Increase server utilization rates
Virtualization Update | August 28, 20093
The Virtualization Platform
2 Socket Server• Users who want fewer VMs per
server to minimize risk
• Environments where backup constraints limit the number of VMs per server
• Consolidation platform for remote offices or smaller sites
• Virtualizing to improve management: disaster recovery, business continuity, test and development
• Virtualizing to support legacy applications running on older operating systems
4 Socket Server• Users who want fewer, larger
servers with more VMs per box
• Users who need more robust VMs to run demanding applications (databases, SAP)
• Consolidation platform for data centers minimizing footprint
• Headroom needed for scaling growing workload or handling peak demands
• Offers more ‘capabilities’ such as processors/cores, memory, I/O ports and reliability features

Virtualization Performance Evaluations
Consolidation Benchmarks
• VMware’s VMmark
Cost per VM Evaluations – price/performance
• AMD’s cost per VM evaluations
“Real World” Workload Evaluations
• AnandTech’s vAPUS Mark I
Virtualization Overhead Evaluation
• VMware’s SPECweb2005 submissions
• HP’s Server Based Computing evaluations

Understanding VMmark BenchmarkVMmark Benchmark Real World IT Environment
Number of Tiles represents number of VMs - a tile is a collection of 6 VMs, and VMs are increased by adding more tiles
Number of VMs per server depends on the characteristics of the workload with new VMs added individually as needed
Benchmark Score is an aggregate of normalized individual VM scores
Individual VM performance is important to achieving a desired user service level
Top VMmark Score is achieved by running a large number of tiles (VMs) per server
Responses to SearchDataCenter.com’s 2008 Purchasing Intentions Survey: •61% run less than 10 VMs per server•33% run 10 to 25 VMs per server•5% run more than 25 VMs on a serverhttp://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid80_gci1329227,00.html
VMs are running throttled workloads VM workloads fluctuate based on demand
One client is used to drive a tile (6 VMs) Multiple clients drive one VM
VMs are running “sub-tests” derived from commonly used load-generation tools
VM are running real applications
Mocks a consolidation use case comprised of multiple, moderately used VMs
Consolidation is just one of several use cases for virtualization
