VMmark Public Beta Released

VMmark is developed to measure performance in an enterprise consolidation scenario. It’s also a benchmark for the entire virtualization platform. Appropriately configured CPU, memory, network, and storage are recommended. In its current form, VMmark still requires some effort to set up and run effectively.

Among the most significant changes are:

• Distribution of virtual appliances for the Linux-based workloads
• Distribution of an XML-based open-source benchmarking harness for STAF/STAX appropriate for choreographing multi-workload benchmarks
• Reduction of the memory footprint from 7GB per tile to 5GB per tile
• Replacement of the database workload with SysBench running against MySQL
