Update: Project VRC Phase II version 2.0 |
|
Project VRC released their Phase II whitepaper in February 2010. Project VRC phase II focuses completely on virtualizing terminal server workloads on the latest generation hardware and hypervisors.
After the release of the Phase II whitepaper, Project VRC received and vSphere patch from VMware. This update specifically addresses Hyper-threading performance of TS workloads on VMware vSphere 4.0.
Project VRC now releases an updated whitepaper: Project VRC Phase II, version 2.0. This whitepaper is available for download from: www.virtualrealitycheck.net.
In this whitepaper contains new tests, comparing TS workloads on VMware vSphere 4.0, Citrix XenServer 5.5 and Microsoft Hyper-V R2:
The main updated findings of “Project VRC Phase II version 2.0” whitepaper are: • Considerable vSphere performance increase with VMware vSphere patch • Update on best practices and recommended configuration • Investigated: performance impact ASLR The Phase II version 2.0 whitepaper is now available in the download section. |

Out now: Project VRC phase 2 |
|
This new Project VRC phase 2 whitepaper focuses completely on analyzing Terminal Services (TS) workloads running on the latest generation hardware and hypervisors. While in phase 1 of project VRC VMware ESX3.5, Citrix XenServer 5.0 and Microsoft Hyper-V 1.0 were tested on a HP DL385G5 with AMD “Barcelona” processors, this whitepaper reviews vSphere 4.0, XenServer 5.5 and Hyper-V 2.0 running on HPDL380G6 with Intel “Nehalem” processor. Project VRC made a deliberate choice not to directly compare Hypervisors in phase 1 (and published results in separate whitepapers), the community and the vendors, logically, did. Therefore, we decided that Project VRC will release this single whitepaper for the phase 2 results, including the three hypervisors. The Phase II whitepaper is now available in the download section. |

Project Virtual Reality Check (VRC) is a joint venture of Log•in Consultants and PQR, who have researched the optimal configuration for the different available hypervisors (hardware virtualization layers). The project arises from the growing demand for a founded advice on how to virtualise Terminal Server and Virtual Desktop (VDI) workloads. Through a number of researches, Log•in Consultants and PQR show you the scaling possibilities for Terminal Server environments as well as Virtual Desktops. 
Project Virtual Reality Check (VRC) is een gezamenlijke initiatief van Log•in Consultants en PQR waarbij onderzoek is gedaan naar de optimale configuratie voor de verschillende hypervisors (hardware virtualisatielagen). Het project is onder andere ontstaan uit de groeiende vraag naar een onderbouwd advies over het virtualiseren van Terminals server en Virtual Desktop (VDI) workloads (werkbelastingen). Aan de hand van een serie onderzoeken tonen PQR en Log•in Consultants aan wat de mogelijkheden zijn in schaalbaarheid voor Terminal Server omgevingen en Virtual Desktops. 
Das Projekt Virtual Reality Check (VRC) ist ein Joint Venture der Login Consultants und PQR welche die optimale Konfiguration für die verschiedenen verfügbaren Virtualisierungs-Layer erforscht haben. Dieses Projekt entstand aus der wachsenden Nachfrage über grundlegende Informationen, nach der Auslastung bei der Virtualisierung von Terminal Server und Virtual Desktop (VDI). Durch eine große Reihe von Analysen, können Ihnen Login Consultants und PQR die Skalierbarkeit von Terminal Server-Umgebungen sowie virtuellen Desktops aufzeigen.
