How do I compare VMmark 2.x scores across different virtualization platforms?
A higher VMmark 2.x score implies that a virtualization platform is capable of sustaining greater throughput in a mixed workload consolidation environment, while experiencing data center operations in the background. A larger number of VMmark 2.x tiles used to generate the benchmark means that the platform supported more virtual machines, across the multiple hosts, during the benchmark run. Typically, a higher benchmark score requires a higher number of tiles. If two different virtualization platforms achieve similar VMmark 2.x scores with a different number of tiles, the score with the lower tile count is generally preferred. The higher tile count could be a sign that the underlying hardware resources were not properly balanced. Studying the individual workload metrics is suggested in these cases.
