Achieving High Web Throughput with VMware vSphere 4 on Intel Xeon 5500 series (Nehalem) servers

Something came across my inbox recently that I just had to share.  I just finished watching The Bucket List.  One of my favorite scenes was when Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are racing around the track driving these classic muscle cars.  The need for speed is alive and well it seems.

We've been working with our friends at VMware and have some nice results to report.  The first paragraph of their blog post says it all:
We just published a SPECweb2005 benchmark score of 62,296 -- the highest result published to date on a virtual configuration. This result was obtained on an HP ProLiant DL380 G6 server running VMware vSphere 4 and featuring Intel Xeon 5500 series processors, and Intel 82598EB 10 Gigabit AF network interface cards.

To read more about these results, here are a few links.
