How Do Business-Critical Database Applications Perform Under Virtualization?

Research from Principled Technologies suggests that a large UNIX/RISC-based, business-critical database application handling peaks of 10,000 queries per hour is delivering good performance. Using that metric, Principled Technologies set about testing 12 VMs hosted on a server running VMware vSphere 5.0 using the Intel Xeon E7 processor family. How…

Coping with Memory Errors on Xeon-Based Servers

Hosting business-critical applications on virtualized servers means that reliability is deeply important. If a hardware failure brings the machine to a halt, all of the services hosted on that machine go doen as well. Isolating memory errors using the Machine Check Architecture, in theory, means that failures can be contained. In practice, how…

Keeping Data Centers Cool and Costs Down Through Consolidation

Keeping the Web alive and well isn't easy work. In fact, it requires a lot of computing power – and that requires a lot of power that goes to not only to running data centers, but cooling them as well. You can't avoid those costs entirely, but you can reduce them. One way is to consolidate workloads using virtualization.
