Beyond the Test
You may have heard that our recent
cover story, in which we tested hypervisor performance for Hyper-V, XenServer and ESX, caused some controversy. Everyone seems to have an opinion -- VMware
thinks our testing stinks and our results can't be trusted, Simon Crosby at Citrix
defends our testing, and Microsoft kindly
applauds our journalistic integrity.
Burton Group Analyst and Virtualization Review columnist Chris Wolf does this debate a service by going beyond the test results and addressing the need for a more formalized set of benchmarks for testing virtualization. Good reading, and I couldn't agree with him more.
