CompareMyVM Launched

Community Website for Benchmarking Virtual Machine Resource Allocations CompareMyVM.com, a free website tool that allows visitors to exchange and compare VMware ESX Server virtual machine (VM) resource allocations with that of the community at large. If you’re unsure about how much resource capacity (CPU, memory, and storage) to allocate to an Exchange VM supporting 1000 users as an example, you can use CompareMyVM to find detailed information on similar VM profiles submitted by the user community. When you visit CompareMyVM, you can take the following actions on the site:

• Submit – Anonymously contribute by submitting VM profiles via the ‘Snapshot My VMs’ Java applet or manually loading the info.

• Browse – Peruse the community submissions to learn how other are allocating resources and how to better provision specific application VMs.

• Edit – Make changes to your VM profile submissions as you change resource allocations.

• Vote – Help rank user submitted VM profiles based on proper resource allocations
