VMware ESX, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V: the benchmarck Virtual Reality Check
The project Virtual Reality Check was born by Ruben Spruijt (Solution Architect and CTO of cocietà PQR) and Jeroen van de Kamp (Enterprise Architect and CTO Login Consultants company) and is aimed at providing an independent analysis (in fact, there are sponsors) performance of different virtualization platforms.
A few days ago they released the first documents of benchmarks on VMware ESX, Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V by analyzing the performance scalability in a VDI environment (Windows XP and Vista machines) and Terminal Server.
The documents explain in detail the testing methodology used and analyze the results of a series of tests (not necessarily the same tests analyzed for each platform) while also providing some interesting comments on some best-practices. Obviously considers to have been taken into not only the performance and features that accompany each product.
I leave you considers to any of the results. To download the documents you need to register.
