Sun and AMD: Your Virtualization Questions Answered

High-Performance Virtualization: A Benchmark Guide from Sun and AMD FEATURED SPEAKERS Ron Graham Technical Product Manager Sun Microsystems Inc. Tim Mueting Product Manager, Virtualization Solutions Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) Michael Krieger VP, Market Experts Group Ziff Davis Enterprise Apr 29, 2009 2:00 p.m. Eastern/11:00 a.m. Pacific Duration: 60 Minutes FORWARD TO A FRIEND FOLLOW US ON TWITTER IT Consolidation through virtualization has emerged as an effective strategy for addressing the very real need for computing scalability while increasing the work that can be done in a given power, thermal, and physical footprint. Consolidation can improve resource utilization, reduce administrative complexity, and drive down IT costs. But are you getting the most out of your virtualization dollar? Are your virtualized systems yielding the scalability you set out to achieve? Do the tools you're using allow the most creative solutions to your consolidation issues? Attend this eSeminar and you'll learn: How utilizing VMware virtual infrastructure software with the Solaris 10 OS for consolidation projects can increase system utilization by up to ten times. How the Sun Fire X4600 M2 server makes the most of AMD's Direct Connect Architecture, yielding top results on VMware's VMmark benchmark. Why Sun provides a choice of the Solaris OS, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and VMware virtualization software. The benefits of Solaris OS advanced features such as Solaris Containers and DTrace that can help consolidate and tune enterprise deployments. How Rapid Virtualization Indexing included in AMD-V technology in Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors dramatically increases the performance of virtualized applications while providing faster switching between virtual machines. How AMD's Rapid Virtualization Indexing feature is designed to reduce the overhead penalty associated with virtualization technologies by moving the process of managing virtual memory from software to hardware.
