If you can't attend VMworld in person - this is almost as good. Check out some pictures from AMD's booth. This one is of our IOMMU Graphics Virtualization demo. - AMD Opteron from Bookmarklet

"These technologies help HP ProLiant servers achieve #1 virtualization performance results and near linear scaling as demonstrated on VMMark benchmark. The 4-processor DL585 G6 server shows 1.86 times scaling from 2-processor DL385 G6 server and the 8-processor DL785 G6 server shows 1.79 times scaling from 4-processor DL585 G6 server. This unparalleled virtualization leadership is demonstrated in the AMD video featuring HP ProLiant DL785 G6 running 180 VMs! AMD will have this demo live at their booth (#1408) at VMWorld, August 31-September 3rd 2009." - AMD Opteron from Bookmarklet

"Since its introduction in June, Six-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers have been achieving some solid virtualization proof points. In fact, a new top 48-core VMmark score was recently posted by HP with its AMD Opteron processor-based HP ProLiant DL785 G6 server. This is a new high score for VMmark of 47.77@30 tiles - more than 30% higher than the top 48-core score posted with an Intel Xeon 7460 processor (”Dunnington”)." - AMD Opteron from Bookmarklet

"VMworld 2009 is just around the corner and you can be sure that AMD will be front and center at what has become one of the premier technical conferences of the year. I’m honored once again to be speaking at one of the breakout sessions during the week. I invite you to come join me on Thursday at 10am for a discussion on Virtualization and Cloud Computing with AMD OpteronTM processor-based platforms. I’ll be covering the latest in AMD OpteronTM processors including exciting new features from our most recent introduction of the Six-Core AMD OpteronTM processor (formerly codenamed “Istanbul”). It is the industry’s only six-core process for 2, 4 and 8 socket servers and offers 34% higher performance-per-watt than Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers in the same power and thermal envelopes." - AMD Opteron from Bookmarklet

"Something I’ve become a big proponent of is what I’ll call a hybrid model. What I mean is that you can think about virtualization and cloud computing in different pieces, and integrate those solutions without overhauling your entire infrastructure. In the spirit of practicing what you preach, we saw this success within AMD’s own Sunnyvale campus. In our IT department in Sunnyvale, about 100 engineers deployed server-hosted virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) so that they could share resources and a common desktop management infrastructure. The desktop virtualization runs as part of AMD’s HP blade server farm and storage environment consisting of HP’s EVA 8100 SAN and HP BL685 and BL465 blade systems with AMD OpteronTM processors." - AMD Opteron from Bookmarklet

"Operating a Six-Core AMD OpteronTM 8400 Series processor-based HP DL785 G6 server with VMware ESX 4.0 software we were able to successfully consolidate 180 virtual machines onto one physical server.1" - AMD Opteron from Bookmarklet
