Hi,
This year again the SAP LinuxLab workshop happened in St. Leon Rot at the SAP LinuxLab.
VMware was one of the participants and did a lot of Performance and functional testing.
Especially the results around Memory throughput and the "best" Linux I/O scheduler are interesting.
The Test-setup contained the latest VMware vSphere 4.1 Software and the latest Intel "Nehalem EX"
Servers. Test results showed excellent scaling and Performance of VMware vSphere 4.1.
