Real-World Workload EnvironmentsNon-Steady State(Unpredictable)Steady State(Predictable)Non-Steady vs Steady State workloads1.Peak utilization should be examined for all Non-Steady workloads. Email server peak periods may beentirely different from the CRM server, causing peaks and valleys to either negate each other, or doublingthe amount of resources needed.2.Average utilization can be examined for Steady state workloads, once they have achieved steady state.Measurements can be performed prior to Steady State, but this would not reflect the workloads trueresource needs.Source : Intel Technology Journal, Vol 10 Issue 3, published August 10, 2006 - “Redefining ServerPerformance Characterization for Virtualization Benchmarking”
