Intel IT: >59% TCO advantage on Xeon Quadcore over Opteron (4S & 2S)
VMWare: "We believe increases with Quad Core & the capabilities it brings over current systems can easily reach 50% or more for many customers." .. "Intel, with industry first Quadcore, & VMWare will realise the vision of pervasive virtualisation & all the benefits it brings to IT. 10 fold increase in Power & operational efficiencies that customers are actually looking for today“

Virtual vs. Native PerformanceVirtual vs. Native Performance Virtualised performance is related to native performanceVirtualised performance is related to native performance
Native Performance
measures true capability of your server
and it’s ability to run an
application or suite of
applications
‘Native’
‘Virtual’
Virtual Performance measures the
performance of the same
application(s) running in a
virtual machine partition
Virtualisation Overhead
Native Performance Measures The Real Capability Of Your Server
Hardware assist virtualisation features work to close the gap
(Intel® VT, page table optimisations, task priority registers, entry/exit accelerations, etc)
Optimisations can only make up so much
Native Performance Matters Underlying challenge is to improve overall system
performance and actual performance running virtualisation software

Selecting the Right Server for VirtualisationSelecting the Right Server for VirtualisationSelecting the Right Server for Virtualisation
Powerful, expandable 4P+ servers designed to handle any virtualisation project with ease, especially when >24GB memory, intensive I/O, or server reliability are critical considerationsLarge 20+:1 virtualisation projects while maintaining peak load application responsiveness
2 socket licensing, excellent price/performance/watt with quad-core technology on Intel® Core™ microarchitecture make these servers ideal for smaller IT virtualisation projectsSmall to medium size consolidation typically ranging from 8-16:1 of infrastructure apps
