Red Hat, HP Achieve Top Virtualization Performance Spec.org Benchmark

October 25, 2011 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Red Hat, today announced that it has achieved a new record-setting SPECvirt_sc2010 virtualization performance benchmark in collaboration with partner HP based on the powerful Kernel-based Virtual Machine hypervisor and HP ProLiant systems.

The SPECvirt virtualization benchmark measures the ability of a system to host virtual machines that are running a set of typical server applications and is modeled to look like a customer’s real environment.

The SPECvirt_sc2010 metric is derived from a combination of the performance of the virtualized applications, noting the number of virtual machines used in the test, and a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement.

The combination of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 and its integrated KVM hypervisor and the HP ProLiant DL980 G7 has established new leading results – 7,[email protected] and 76 tiles – setting the best virtual performance mark and highest number of tiles, or set of six virtual machines running an application, of any published SPECvirt result.

Including today’s record-setting result, 11 of the 18 published SPECvirt 2010 benchmark results published at Spec.org were achieved using KVM technology.

HP Launches New Cloud Software Solutions

July 21, 2011 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

HP recently announced new software solutions that improve collaboration among application delivery teams, enabling organizations to accelerate business innovation and lower operational costs.

The new HP software solutions are key components to the HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) suite, which accelerates application delivery with a single platform, while enhancing collaboration among application delivery teams.

The HP solutions provide business analysts, developers and testers with visibility across the life cycle and new levels of automation to streamline the delivery process.

The new HP ALM software solutions include:

HP Service Virtualization 1.0

integrates with a broad set of application life cycle management solutions to reduce complexity and business risks. By accessing a simulated environment immediately, organizations can enhance performance testing of composite applications.

The simulated environment also eliminates the need to build a redundant test environment, access production systems or recreate a proxy to mimic service behaviors.

HP Application Lifecycle Intelligence (ALI)

is an enterprise technology agnostic solution that turns disparate data into actionable intelligence. HP ALI, combined with HP ALM 11, provides a real-time view into changes made to source code while allowing developers to work with the tools of their choice. This allows organizations to measure the impact of changes on requirements, tests and defects for a complete analysis of application quality prior to release.

HP Agile Accelerator 5.0

features a new scheduling tool for viewing deliverables in development and provides real-time visibility across the application life cycle for rapid response to changing business requirements.
