Description:

This document provides direction to those interested in running the Perforce Server on VMware® vSphere. The results of recent testing done jointly by VMware and Perforce are covered, where the performance and functionality of Perforce on VMware are characterized. At the end of the document, a set of best practices are described for utilizing the two product sets together in your datacenter. The document will be of interest to those who are considering virtualizing their Perforce servers on the VMware vSphere platform, or those who may have already done so. A set of benchmark tests are described that were run against a virtualized Perforce and compared with the same tests executed against the native equivalent.
