Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Processor-Based
Servers from Dell Achieves Top Score for Virtualization Performance
Top VMmark™ Benchmark Score with Quad-Core
AMD Opteron™ SE Processors in Dell PowerEdge
R905 Server
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (Business Wire EON) June 18, 2008 --
AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that a four-socket server from Dell with
Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ SE processors has
achieved the top score for virtualization performance based on the VMmark™
benchmark from VMware. The Dell PowerEdge R905 with Quad-Core AMD
Opteron SE processors notched
an official top score for four-socket servers of 14.17 and achieved a
score of 10 tiles or 60 virtual machines.
“The
VMmark results on Dell’s PowerEdge 905
further solidify AMD’s position as the
industry leader in performance and performance-per-watt for
multi-processor servers,” said Patrick Patla,
general manager, server and workstation business, AMD. “Quad-Core
AMD Opteron processors offer customers many unique features that can
help deliver near native application performance on their virtualized
servers, including Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI.) AMD
is committed to working with Dell and the industry to continue
developing more performance indicators that demonstrate the full suite
of virtualization capabilities, such as RVI, which are available to
customers today.”
AMD
Virtualization™ technology with Rapid
Virtualization Indexing helps enable customers running Quad-Core AMD
Opteron processors to significantly improve their performance due to the
system’s ability to more easily manage memory
and decrease the time “switching”
between virtual machines.
“Dell PowerEdge servers lead the industry in
virtualization performance regardless of form factor, enabling customers
to reduce complexity and more effectively support their virtual IT
environments,” said Sally Stevens, Director
of PowerEdge Servers, Dell Product Group. “This
top VMmark result for four-socket servers is another testament to Dell
and AMD’s ongoing collaboration in providing
virtualization optimized solutions that help customers meet today’s
increasing data center computing demands.”
Dell PowerEdge servers equipped with AMD processors take advantage of AMD’s
unique Direct Connect Architecture to help reduce bottlenecks, minimize
latency and increase the performance of virtualized applications.
