CISCO FIRST IN THE INDUSTRY – NEW VMmark 2.0 Cloud Benchmark

Cisco brings you the latest VMark 2.0 results.
This freshly new VMark benchmark is now based , not only on application workload performances , but for the first time VM performance is now evaluated on :

How well a server , network and storage support virtual machine movement within a given network , storage migration and VM provisioning.

This is ofcourse where a UCS platform in basically developped for .

It’s about bringing together network , compute and storage access in one system , managed and provisioned from one single pane.

Now this new stressful virtualization benchmark has the following properties :

Multi-host to model realistic datacenter deployments
Virtualization infrastructure workloads to more accurately capture overall platform performance
Heavier workloads than VMmark 1.x to reflect heavier customer usage patterns enabled by the increased capabilities of the virtualization and hardware layers
Multi-tier workloads driving both VM-to-VM and external network traffic
Workload burstiness to insure robust performance under variable high loads
