responsiveness“Why is virtualization such a big deal? A lot of people understand, and they think it's about saving money, it's about saving power, it's about green IT, it's about space, and that's certainly true. But in our perspective, it's much, much bigger than that, and people are just now beginning to understand that. We think that there's a major transformation taking place in IT. This major transformation that's been taking place for years is starting to accelerate, and we believe that virtualization is a major enabler and catalyst of that transition that's taking place.”
- Tom Bittman, Gartner VP and Chief of Research of Infrastructure and Operations, at Microsoft’s Virtualization Launch Event

Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 SP1 ApplicationWorkload Performance
Microsoft commission ESG Labs to test the performance and scalability of Hyper-V server virtualization technologyMicrosoft SharePoint 2010, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010 workloads were tested with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 to confirm Hyper-V R2 SP1 can be used to virtualize tier-1 applicationsThe successful outcome demonstrated a lower total lower cost of ownership, increased scalability, and maintained performance
S o l u t i o n B r i e fi n g
SharePoint 2010 Application Workload Performance
Summary of Results Adding web server VMs increased the number of 1% concurrent SharePoint users from 252,600 to 460,800. Average page response times improved as web servers were added. Average page response times were faster than the Microsoft-recommended guideline of 1–2 seconds.
S o l u t i o n B r i e fi n g
SQL Server 2008 R2 Workload Performance
Summary of Results Hyper-V R2 SP1 on a single physical server was used to deploy virtualized SQL Server 2008 R2 databases for 20,000 through 80,000 OLTP customers. Aggregate performance scaled up to 3,526 SQL Server batch requests per second during the four-VM test. Average transaction response times remained low (under 150 milliseconds) as VMs were added.
S o l u t i o n B r i e fi n g
Exchange 2010 Workload Performance Summary of Results A single server virtualized with Hyper-V R2 SP1 scaled to meet the I/O)performance requirements of 20,000 Exchange 2010 mailboxes. Exchange database read response times remained well below Microsoft-recommended maximum of 20 milliseconds as VMs were added. Exchange 2010 Tested Solutions that were fully virtualized with Hyper-V R2 SP1 met the scalability and performance requirements of 9,000 through 32,000 highly available Exchange 2010 mailboxes.

Hyper-V Case StudiesAvailable on Microsoft.com
Hyper-V technology helps us run many virtual servers on a single cluster with performance nearly equal to a ‘native’ operating system. The result is a powerhouse of performance, manageability, and scalability.Dale ChristianChief Information Officer Avanade

Hyper-V is an enabling technology that allows us to move toward a properly managed and standardized environment without
increasing our costs.Marcel Berkhout
