Big Data Performance on VMware Cloud on AWS

August 16, 2018

Both traditional on-premises virtualized private clouds and the new VMware Cloud on AWS provide users the benefits of server consolidation, manageability, and flexibility that VMware brings to the table. To gauge the relative merits of on-premises vs. VMware Cloud on AWS from a Big Data performance point of view, similarly configured 8-server clusters were built in both environments, and the same set of Spark benchmarks were run on both. Performance was very similar, leaving customers with two excellent options for running their Big Data workloads.

The Total Economic Impact of Data Virtualization Using the Denodo Platform

whitePaper | September 8, 2022

Data virtualization helps organizations access data across disparate sources and deliver a unified view of the data faster, cheaper, and using fewer resources than traditional data integration approaches. In this TEI, data virtualization delivered 83% reduction in time-torevenue and 65% decrease in delivery times over extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes.

Unlock the Power of Private 5G: Top Applications and Key Business Outcomes

whitePaper | February 23, 2023

The private 5G market is at an early stage of development, but activity in the market is increasing. 5G accounted for over 50% of all publicly disclosed private network announcements at the end of 2022, according to Analysys Mason’s Private LTE/5G networks tracker.1 5G’s share is lower when non-public announcements are included, but it is expected that most private networks will eventually use 5G.

Intel Page Modification Logging, a hardware virtualization feature: study and improvement for virtual machine working set estimation

whitePaper | January 7, 2020

Intel Page Modification Logging (PML) is a novel hardware feature for tracking virtual machine (VM) accessed memory pages. This task is essential in today’s data centers since it allows, among others, checkpointing, live migration and working set size (WSS) estimation. Relying on the Xen hypervisor, this paper studies PML from three angles: power consumption, efficiency, and performance impact on user applications. Our findings are as follows. First, PML does not incur any power consumption overhead. Second, PML reduces by up to 10.18% both VM live migration and checkpointing time. Third, PML slightly reduces by up to 0.95% the performance degradation on applications incurred by live migration and checkpointing.
