Soon after the release of Login VSI 1.0 Login Consultants and PQR released some platform performance indexes of the most common hypervisor solutions currently in the market.
In more than 150 tests on different Windows platforms (2003, 2008, XP and Vista) the workload is measured on VMWare ESX, Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V in different hardware and software configurations.
All this was done in project Virtual Reality Check (VRC), an act of collaboration between both Login Consultants and PQR.
The goal of Project VRC is to investigate, validate and give answers to the following questions:
- How does various Microsoft Windows Client OS’s scale as a virtual desktop?
- How does a VDI infrastructure scale in comparison (virtualized) Terminal Server?
- Which performance optimization on the host and guest virtualization level can be configured, and what is the impact of these settings on user density?
- With the introduction of the latest hypervisor technologies, can we now recommend running large scale TS/CTX workloads on a virtualization platform?
- How do the two usage scenarios compare, that is Microsoft Terminal Server [TS] only, versus TS plus XenApp?
- How do x86 and x64 TS platforms compare in scalability on bare metal and virtualized environments?
- What is the best way to partition (memory and vCPU) the Virtual Machines the hypervisor host, to achieve the highest possible user density?
The results are published in 4 whitepapers on www.virtualrealitycheck.net.
