Project Virtual Reality Check (VRC) is a joint venture of Log•in Consultants and PQR, who have researched the optimal configuration for the different available hypervisors (hardware virtualization layers); the website looks to show you the scaling possibilities for Terminal Server environments as well as Virtual Desktops.
The purpose of the whitepaper is to provide information about the scalability and best practic-es of virtualized Terminal Server and Virtual Desktop workloads using VMware ESX. For all tests the same hardware configuration and freely available Login VSI benchmarking toolset is being used. This whitepaper focuses on virtualizing Windows XP and 32-bit Windows 2003 Terminal Services.
In v1.1, the impact of AMD Nested Page Tables (RVI is AMD's implementation of NPT) is benchmarked and analyzed. The outcome of these tests do really have a interesting positive impact in the amount of users on virtualized x86 Terminal Server platform. You can read the impact in the VMware ESX v1.1 whitepaper which can be downloaded from www.virtualrealitycheck.net
