Mysql Database Performance Under Virtual Machines Environments

Some technical differences between virtualization platforms will be shown. Us-ing the MySQL database we present the efficiency tests. Different hardware platforms were used: PC Intel and different mainframe computers (z/9'series). Usefulness of virtualization techniques was also shown. An example of imple-mentation of MySQL database was used to show the selected areas of usage of virtualization environment. In this document we also show selected architectural and performance comparisons of virtual machines set up on PC (x86/x64) and Mainframe (z/9) platforms.
