RE: VM benchmarks

Hi,

I'd be interested to see the same test with all devices in the same location. There shouldn't be any reason for this much difference! We run HAProxy on ESX so I might take a spare server to the DC and V2P the servers over to that for testing.

Will let you know on this one...

We just moved HAProxy from ESXi servers into two dedicated Atom servers.

In the first setup the HAProxy innstallations balanced two webservers in the same ESXi enviorment. The web access times for this config was inbetween 120-150ms (Connect, Request, Download).

In the new config the dedicated HAProxy boxes are located in a seperate datacenter 500km away from the same ESXi web servers. With this config we get lower web access times. Inbetween 110-130ms (Connect, Request, Download).

I expect that also moving the web servers to the new datacenter will result in an even better results.
