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.

1. Les tests et les indices de performances portent sur des configurations spécifiques, leurs éléments ou les deux. Ils rendent compte approximativement des performances des produits Intel® mesurées par ces tests. Une différence dans la configuration matérielle ou logicielle est ainsi susceptible d’avoir une incidence sur les performances effectives. Il est donc conseillé aux acheteurs de consulter d’autres sources d’informations pour évaluer les performances des configurations ou des éléments de configuration dont ils envisagent l’acquisition. Pour davantage d’informations sur les tests de performances et sur les performances des produits d’Intel, consultez www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/benchmarks/resources-benchmark-limitations.html.


2. Les résultats en performances relatives pour chaque banc d’essai sont établis par rapport aux résultats effectifs à ce banc d’essai de la première plate-forme testée, auxquels est attribuée la valeur indiciaire 1.0. Les performances relatives des autres plates-formes testées sont calculées en divisant le résultat effectif de chaque banc d'essai de la plate-forme de référence par celui des autres plates-formes et en leur attribuant un coefficient de performances relatif qui est en corrélation avec le différentiel de performances trouvé.
