The virtualization team blog editor gave a thorough review of our Virtualization Server Performance Test Plan. You can read the review yourself at: http://www.virtualizationteam.com/virtualization-vmware/tolly-common-test-plan-for-virtual-server-performance.html.

The editor made good suggestions for future updates, and notes:

“The document can save enterprises the expensive time of developing their own Virtualization benchmarking from scratch. In addition, it can help avoid making expensive mistakes by evaluating virtualization solutions performance based on misleading measurements. I am planning to adjust my performance testing procedures according to some of the advices in the document, as I was over-looking some of the points that can make a difference in certain environments.
The size of the document is 39 pages, which is not too lengthy. Though it covers most of what you need to develop a performance benchmarking for your virtualization solution. In addition, it can help you with crafting RFP for your Virtualization Solution tender.”
