VMware ESX Server 3: Ready Time Observations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
VMware ESX Server is a thin software layer designed to multiplex hardware resources efficiently among virtual machines running unmodified commodity operating systems. In many computing environments, individual servers are underutilized, allowing them to be consolidated as virtual machines on a single physical server with little or no impact on performance. Similarly, many small servers can be consolidated onto fewer larger machines to simplify management and reduce costs.

متن کاملMemory Resource Management in VMware ESX Server
VMware ESX Server is a thin software layer designed to multiplex hardware resources efficiently among virtual machines running unmodified commodity operating systems. This paper introduces several novel ESX Server mechanisms and policies for managing memory. A ballooning technique reclaims the pages considered least valuable by the operating system running in a virtual machine. An idle memory t...
متن کاملVMware ESX Server: Providing LUN Security
VMware ESX Server provides strong security and performance isolation for virtual machine storage. Each virtual machine sees only the virtual disks that have been presented to its virtual SCSI adapters. Virtual machines cannot see the physical Fibre Channel HBAs on the ESX Server host on which they run. Nor, in typical use cases, do they see the LUNs on which their virtual disks reside. Emerging...
متن کاملSPECweb2005 Performance: ESX Server 3.5
VMware ESX Server 3.5 is designed for high performance. With a number of optimizations for superior performance, even the most I/O‐intensive applications perform well when deployed on VMware Infrastructure 3. In this paper we compare the performance of a virtual machine to that of a similarly configured native machine using the industry standard SPECweb2005 workload. In our virtualized tests we...
