Optimizing VM Checkpointing for Restore Performance in VMware ESXi

Irene Zhang started her presentation by explaining that checkpointing is similar to “suspend,” but while taking a checkpoint, the virtual machine can continue its execution. Because checkpointing is used for fault tolerance, taking a checkpoint can be done quickly, in less than a few seconds; restoring from the checkpoint, although slow, hasn’t been a problem; however, recent applications, such...

A Benchmarking Case Study of Virtualized Hadoop Performance on VMware

The performance of three Hadoop applications is reported for several virtual configurations on VMware vSphere 5 and compared to native configurations. A well-balanced seven-node AMAX ClusterMax system was used to show that the average performance difference between native and the simplest virtualized configurations is only 4%. Further, the flexibility enabled by virtualization to create multipl...

Virtualized Hadoop Performance with VMware vSphere® 6 on HighPerformance Servers - White Paper: VMware, Inc

Large advances have been made in hardware and every level of the software stack since the virtualized Hadoop tests published in April 2013. This paper shows how to take advantage of these advances to achieve maximum performance. The cluster size remains at 32 two-processor 2U hosts; however, the processor, memory, network, and storage capabilities are all roughly doubled from those reported in ...
