http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10104#comments Comments on : Storage Workload Characterization and Consolidation in Virtualized Enviornments en Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:11:48 GMT Clearspace 1.10.12 (http://jivesoftware.com/products/clearspace/) 2009-12-22T19:11:48Z en http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10104#comments-13969 The work presented in this paper is still hard to find anywhere else.<br /> <br /> Detailed workload characterization of DVDStore (Oracle), Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, TPC-C (Oracle) and Swingbench (Oracle) are presented, all in one paper!<br /> <br /> Furthermore, section 4 of this paper contains nuggets such as how these workloads behave when run on the same storage array LUNs. I highly recommend this as basic reading for storage and system administrators looking to benefit from the CapEx and OpEx savings of workload consolidation with VMFS or NFS in any environment.<br /> <br /> Irfan Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:11:48 GMT irfan.ahmad http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10104#comments-13969 2009-12-22T19:11:48Z 2 months, 2 weeks ago
