 VMmark was developed by VMware as a benchmarking tool to give us accurate measurement of application performance in a virtualized environment. It’s the industry’s first virtualization benchmarking tool for x86-based systems. The system uses a unique tile-base implementation.
VMware have published the results submitted by different hardware suppliers (Dell, IBM, HP, and Unisys). These results can act as a guide when you are deciding which hardware to purchase for your virtual environment. The software is available as a free download from the VMware site. To learn more about VMmark and virtualization benchmarking visit the SPEC (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation) website.

With the systems ability to manage storage systems across different platforms administrators will have a single view of the storage space. |

I got this information from one of the news feeds that come into this site. Kir Kolyshkin has posted in his journal how he was able to setup OpenVZ on a Gumtrix Overo. The Overo is a computer as small as a Wrigley's gum with a CPU board the size of a gum stick, featuring TI OMAP3 CPU, 128 megs of RAM and a microSD slot. It also has 802.11g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but those happens to be completely dead as this the first beta release of hardware. |
