eyeOS Blog

During the last few months a group of IBM engineers and directors have been working on a RedPaper about eyeOS. We’re happy to announce that it reached the “Final” state this weekend. It’s called “Performance Test of Virtual Linux Desktop Cloud Services on System z” and analyzes how eyeOS scales over a mainframe environment, multiple processors and up to thousands of users working simultaneously on a same environment.

This document is one of the most important documents published about eyeOS, since it deeply analyzes how eyeOS can be implemented in a mainframe such IBM’s System Z, providing some important (and nice!) results on how the project scales:

The results show that eyeos has excellent scalability on System z running as a Linux guest under z/VM up through a 16 processor image at optimum utilization. This is partially due to the fact that a single Linux guest container can support thousands of clients, rather than requiring one Linux guest per client.

We’d like to thank the whole IBM team that made this possible, and to invite everyone to download the RedPaper and read it.
