VMTurbo announces VM Placement Game release

RANDOLPH, NJ. November 11, 2011

Sitrus is proud to announce that Sitrus team working for VMTurbo, Inc. has played a key role in releasing of VM Placement Game. As an illustration of the challenge in managing workload placement and resource allocation in a virtualized data center, we created a little game.

In this game, the player is challenged to place VMs across the smallest number of hosts, while maintaining a minimum level of application performance ("Quality of Service", or QoS). Each VM has its own requirements for CPU, Memory, and Storage IOPS.

That said, we thought it'd be both fun and valuable to explore the fundamental challenge of managing workloads: maintaining the application QoS, while maximizing infrastructure efficiency.

So, we invite you to give it a shot (there's 5 levels that get progressively harder), and challenge your friends!
