An interactive virtualization management system provides an assessment of proposed or existing virtualization schemes. A Virtual Technology Overhead Profile (VTOP) is created for each of a variety of configurations of host computer systems and virtualization technologies by measuring the overhead experienced under a variety of conditions. The multi-variate overhead profile corresponding to each target configuration being evaluated is used by the virtualization management system to determine the overhead that is to be expected on the target system, based on the particular set of conditions at the target system. Based on these overhead estimates, and the parameters of the jobs assigned to each virtual machine on each target system, the resultant overall performance of the target system for meeting the performance criteria of each of the jobs in each virtual machine is determined, and over-committed virtual machines and computer systems are identified. |
