VMWare ESXi vs. Citrix XenServer vs. Microsoft Hyper-V Performance Comparison

Posted on May 19, 2014 by David Orlo

I performed these tests about 2 years ago now but I would imagine the results would still be similar. I have attached several documents which show my findings for the performance of the 3 different Virtualization platforms running on the same hardware with the same guest OS. Passmark Test Main CPU 2D Graphics Memory Disk ESXi 654.3 864.3 830.3 568.9 294.1 XenServer 741.7 862.7 213.5 588.3 931.1 Hyper-V 753.9 862.2 361.9 596.8 275.7 IO Meter Summary – IOPS WFS 4KB DSS DB 1MB M STR 64KB SQL SL 64KB OS P 64KB WSL 8KB EXCH 4KB WS 8KB

Virtualization Face Off, Bare metal & OS Level

Posted on February 7, 2010 by David Orlo

Once the new server is built I plan to revisit virtualization with some new contenders added to the list. Here is the current bare metal line up VMWare ESX Microsoft Hyper-V Citrix XEN RedHat KVM Windows VM VMWare Workstation & Server Oracle / Sun Virtual Box Parallels Workstation Linux VM VMWare Workstation & Server Oracle / Sun Virtual Box Parallels Workstation This will all run on the new server so it will be the same hardware each time around. I might do this before I put in the Raid 50 to make my life a lot more simple when installing

VM Shootout Performance Numbers

!!! — UPDATE — !!! ~~ UPDATE – I will not be contniuing this testing with this machine. I am finding that although I have all the proper drivers and can get everything to work, something still doesnt seem right. At least if anything we can learn that even with all the drivers Hyper-v runs HORRIBLE on an Nvidia chipset or possibly just runs horrible. I am trying to get my hands on a T300 to really make the test fair and then perform all of this testing again. My biggest goal is for a box that is fully supported
