Session Title:

Get the Best VM Density From Your Virtualization Platform

Session Abstract:

A virtualization platform that can run more VMs per host without a performance penalty delivers a cascade of benefits: fewer servers, reduced storage and network interconnects, less power and space consumed, fewer software licenses and significantly lower total costs. High VM density has always been a strength of VMware vSphere, but where does vSphere stand against the latest crop of hypervisors from Microsoft, Citrix and Red Hat? This session will answer that question with results from independently verified lab testing pitting the newest version of ESX against Hyper-V, XenServer and KVM. We’ll show how the latest memory management features and performance optimizations in vSphere continue to deliver the best VM density. We’ll also show you how to get the best VM density in your own vSphere environment to keep your total costs as low as possible.
