Hi all,
Is there anyone out there who might be able to shed light on a VMware technical issues we are having?
We have a customer that has two very similar spec servers one running VMware ESX 5i and the other running Server 2008 R2 HyperV. Each server has a single CPU VM running on it running Server 2008 R2 with identical RAM amounts. HyperV server has Intel X5650 processors, ESX Server has Intel E5-2630 procs.
The HyperV VM under load shows about 50% less CPU utilisation than the ESX Server VM under the same load even though the VMs are very similarly specified. Both are running the same application and the same load.
The customer has asked us to explain why there is such a marked difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
