- Improved Virtualization Performance with 9th Generation Servers Dell's ninth generation of PowerEdge servers provide an unparalleled level of performance over the previous generation, with Intel Core Microarchitecture processors and fast memory speeds with FB-DIMMs. This paper will quantify these performance gains within a virtualized environment by using VMware Infrastructure 3.The results demonstrated a gain of up to 2.2X from a PowerEdge 1850 compared to the Dell PowerEdge 1950.
- VMware VMotion Performance on the Dell PowerEdge 1855 Blade Server By Dave Jaffe, Todd Muirhead, and Balasubramanian Chandrasekaran, December 2005 . Dell's 1855 blade server performance in a VMotion live migration scenario well beyond a typical scenario. Live migration of virtual machines - VMotion - is typically used for routine maintenance, load balancing, and fault tolerance. These are migrations that some IT managers use anywhere from twice a day to twice a week. But what about ten times in ten minutes? Dell engineers found that the Dell 1855 Blade server can handle twice that amount - 20 migrations in 10 minutes -- with negligible impact on the virtual machine application performance.
