Virtualise databases - TPC-VMS benchmark

http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2013/09/worlds-first-tpc-vms-benchmark-result.html

New TPC-VMS benchmark runs 3 VMs each running TPC-E, then takes the lowest result and that is the VMStpsE benchmark result. Only one benchmark result so far and it shows that virtualisation does not add significant overhead. 

Looking forward to more TPC-VMS benchmark results......



The Result:
The TPC-VMS benchmark score is the lowest of the three VMStpsE scores (in bold) which were: 457.55, 468.11, 470.31

  • VMS-TCP-E Throughput: 457.55 VMStpsE
  • Price Performance: $571 USD per VMStpsE
  • Date: August 26, 2013

HP has also done native TPC-E benchmarking on the exact same infrastructure as the TPC-VMS test bed.  Those results were:
tpcescore
  • TCP-E Throughput: 1416.37 tpsE
  • Price Performance: $183 USD per tpsE
  • Date: May 15, 2013
  • Complete Results: http://www.tpc.org/4064
TPC rules prevent direct comparison of two differing benchmark results, as after all, they are different benchmarks with a different methodologies even though they rely on similar TPC-E workloads.   Still, this should be reassuring to customers that database consolidation scenarios are not only viable, but extremely efficient as well with little virtualization overhead.
