Geekbench: VMC virtualisation hardware tops benchmark

The results are in from the independent performance testing of our new hardware appliance platform.

Like the song says 'It's not what you do it's the way that you do it. Our HPC approach to virtualisation really delivers on the promise of the MultiCore x86-64 vision.

So to the results:
The VMC 1200 series - 2P 24 Core system comfortably faces down the latest 4P 48Core DELL R815. In the real world that saves you a VMware license

The 4P 48Core VMC 2400 series slips past a 'quant-built' 8P 128Core custom rig to take top slot, leaving the 8P 64Core IBM System x3850 X5 trailing in 3rd; and that would save you 2 VMware licenses.

But seriously, it's not simply license savings when you move to very dense virtualisation solutions like ours. You save on everything; rack-space, power, cooling, software licenses, networking infrastructure and storage solutions.
