Subject: virtualization benchmark suites
Hi folks,
I spoke with several financial customers interested in KVM earlier this
week and
two topics we discussed
were KVM benchmarking and the oVirt community. Two of the customers
suggested that we contribute
benchmarking suites to oVirt as projects, and that we form a
benchmarking community under oVirt.
IBM has successfully contributed a benchmark called DayTrader to the
Apache
foundation and formed a
community around that benchmark, which tests middleware using
transaction and networking workloads.
I'm not proposing DayTrader. But IBM does have some distributed
benchmarks that
may be interesting to the
community. And others of you probably also have similar test suites.
What is the group's feeling about benchmarking projects? If there's
interest I'll pursue things on our end
(no promises). But I think this is good feedback from our customers
and
am interested to hear comments on
the idea.
How would that differentiate from specvirt?
Thanks,
Mike
