VMs per core / proc / host / cluster / cloud
- Expecting 24 core servers by end 2011, 64 cores by 2014
- By 2013 16GB DIMMs will cost the same as 2GB today
- 10GB networking will be common
- Conclusion is that servers will not be limiting VM density - the virtualization platform and management tools will be the defining factor
- Density dips as larger business critical workloads are deployed, but then it climbs again as larger hosts are deployed and features such as DRS are deployed.
- Use reservations mapped to real memory use by the guest VM
- Making comparisons between virtualization technologies (comment - of course, VMware is best, as you would expect from a VMware presentation!)
- Same comparison being made as the 09:00 session today - see notes below.
