Session Title:

Achieving 10+ Gbps File Transfer Throughput Using Virtualization - End-User Case Study

Session Abstract:

An End-User case study with "a large and well-known package shipment company" using VMware ESX4RC(new name needed here) running on Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 Series based servers with Intel NICs supporting VMDq feature.
File transfer applications are widely used in production environments such as replicated databases, backups, etc. We explore the platform hardware and software limits of file transfer performance, find the bottlenecks, evaluate tradeoffs and make recommendations for increasing file transfer performance in a 10G virtualized environment.
New 10Gb Ethernet solutions will allow users to cost-effectively consolidate the many Ethernet and Fibre Channel adapters deployed in a typical ESX implementation today. ESX running on Xeon processor 5500 Series based servers is ready, willing and able to handle this workload.
