    : : VMware Virtualization Edge Virtualization on the Edge Previous Next 0 A Cool Demo Video of VMotion of SAP on vSphere Posted by ToddMuirhead Feb 25, 2010 I've been working on some performance testing with SAP on vSphere with KongY_Dell in the Dell TechCenter over the past few months . While my testing is targeted to produce some performance results , it was relatively easy to record a quick demo video using the same setup . This cool video demo was the result . It shows an SAP VM being moved wtih VMotion to another physical host while under load , with no errors or interruption of service . At the beginning of the video there are four SAP VMs 1 Database Server and 3 Application Servers on a single Dell PowerEdge M710 with Intel Nehalem x5570 processors . The SAP Sales and Distribution benchmark was used to put this 3-Tier SAP setup under load , and then the Database VM was moved to another host with VMotion . Just a short demonstration of how VMotion allows for VMs under load to be moved without interruption to users including things like SAP . A couple of side notes 1 I tried to get Kong to do the voice narration with me , but couldn't convince him to get behind the microphone
