Results summary of a virtualization study

The Summary section gives you a snapshot of the effectiveness of the study. It has three basic components:

  • Before and After comparison
  • Virtualization Parameters
  • New Virtual Server Configuration

Use the Before and After columns to calculate the efficiency savings that could be achieved through the consolidation. The study will also show reductions in memory utilization, I/O rate and network rate, although the numbers are not as dramatic as expected. To see how successful the consolidation was, examine the Virtual Host Summary report and see if there are any constraints that are preventing the virtual hosts from being effectively utilized.

Warning

Note

The host-related values in the Before columns are populated only for existing virtual hosts that are involved in the study. Other values, such as Utilization of Performance Rating, are shown even if there are no existing virtual hosts in the study.

The following table provides an overview of each section in the summary.
