It’s has been universally acknowledged that managing how to share CPU, memory, storage and network resources is the key to avoiding performance problems in any virtualization environment.
This paper cover some lessons learned in years of experience managing capacity resources in a VMware environment and how those same techniques can be applied to a Hyper-V environment. “Since many of you are already familiar with VMware, we’ll be comparing Hyper-V to VMware. We’ll cover how to manage resources (CPU, memory storage and disk I/O) to obtain the maximum safe VM density, how to avoid performance bottlenecks, and how to compute how much capacity there is to add virtual machines for each host and cluster.”
