„Virtual is better than Physical“ ...
Breakthrough Performance with VMware vSphere (I)SPECWeb2005
+ Apache Web Server
+ PHP
+ VMware vSphere 4
= 2000 points more than physical
=> ESX can scale better than native in multi-VM configuration
=> Single instance of SPECweb2005/Apache/PHP does not scale well on native
=> Virtualizing Apache solves real-world scalability issues

... now also on Performance!
Breakthrough Performance with VMware vSphere (II)CPU Overcomittment:
Show more than available: vSphere shows 16 vCPU’s and supports 8000 “heavy” mailbox users
Physical server shows 8 CPUs and supports just 4000 users.
With 6 VM’s / 6000 users95th percentile sendmaillatency unchanged
With 8 VMs / 8000 usersCPU utilization on host below 60%. Sendmail latencies are well under 500ms threshold

For better TCO and smoother operations:
Optimized performance with SUN, AMD and VMware: Hardware assist for CPU (AMD-V) 18% improvement compared to BT
Hardware assist for MMU (RVI) another 4% compared to AMD-V
RVI is default monitor chosen by vSphere 4 for our environment
