2011 SQL Server Results Summary


20,000 to 80,000 customers (one to four VMs)

Low response times as VMs are added

Near linear performance scalability

Transactions

SQL server batch requests per second

Low Hyper-V R2 overhead compared to physical (12%)

Hyper-V R2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Workload Scalability


19/21


Why This Matters

Performance scaled with low response times as SQL Server application wo

were consolidated on a physical server.

The manageably low performance impact of Hyper-V R2 wont be detecte

vast majority of end-users and applications.

The performance, scalability, and low overhead of Hyper-V R2 can be usedcosts and improve the manageability, flexibility, and availability of consoli

Server applications.

The Bigger Truth


20/21


Issues to Consider

Mileage varies; test with your workloads and your data

Hyper-V

Included for free with Windows Server 2008

Proven to perform with demanding applications

Size matters

Utility-class SQL Server apps are a great place to start

Apps that are resource-constrained on a physical server may not be for virtualization

High Availability matters

Leverage ESG Lab Validations, Microsoft and its partners best practices/
