Fortisandbox - Performance Xenserver vs. VMWare vs KVM

Hi!

 

I am just evaluating Fortisandbox VM on Xenserver 7.1.

The performance is quite bad although the hardware of the Hypervisor is very fast.

 

Did anybody here try Fortisandbox on another hypervisor? How was the performance?

 

Regards,

KPS

    Hi,

     

    we run several installations of Fortisandbox VM on VMware. We consider the performance to be reasonable compared to the Hardware models.

     

    What is your setup and do you have some performance numbers?

    Hi!

     

    The Hypervisor is quite fast and at the moment "exclusively" for the Sandbox-VM

    2x Xeon E5 2640v3

     

    I assigned 8vCPUs and 24GB memory the the Fortisandbox which should run 4 Windows 7 VMs

     

    Preparing the VMs after a reboot needs half an hour. Scanning office-files is very slow (about 600s).

     

    Sometimes, preparing a VM leads to a timeout...

    @RomanR: how would you provision a VMware FSA to perform at par with a FSA-3000E, based on your experience? I'm running a PoC at the moment with the hardware and would like to know whether a VM FSA would be realistic.
