Datacenter Virtualized Server Management and Consolidation performance on VMmark* 2

Servers operating in a virtualized environment have two major concerns – being able to deliver the level of performance of a stand-alone server and being reliable enough to support multiple virtual machines (VMs). Next generation Intel Xeon processor E7 family delivers with features that automatically manage hardware errors and guard against malicious software attacks – all the while delivering better performance for more satisfied customers.

Benchmark description for VMmark* 2

The new benchmark replaces version 1 with a flexible datacenter, multi-host benchmark modeling not only the application throughput performance but also the virtual infrastructure operations. Each VMmark tile includes eight VMs – mail server, multi-tier OLTP database, multi-tier social networking workload, and a standby server. The benchmark measures aggregate throughput performance of the applications and insfrasturcture-workload component that meets minimum Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.

Product and Performance Information

open

1. Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/benchmarks/resources-benchmark-limitations.html.


2. Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.


3. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
