Conclusion:
The DRS Score presented by BVQ provides a precise method to assess workload equilibrium in a virtualized environment, facilitating efficient management and optimal performance. With the planned extension to individual VMs, users will gain an even more granular view, enhancing their troubleshooting and management capabilities.
| DRS Score | vCenter Evaluation | Cluster Evaluation | Host Evaluation | VM Evaluation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100% | Optimal operation | Perfectly balanced | No overcommitment | VMs are satisfied |
| 80% | Efficient operation | Minor imbalances | Slight overcommitment | Minor VM performance concerns |
| 60% | Acceptable operation | Noticeable imbalances | Moderate overcommitment | Some VMs may be affected |
| 50% | Fair operation | Considerable imbalances | High overcommitment | Half of VMs might have concerns |
| 40% | Reduced efficiency | Major imbalances | Very high overcommitment | Majority of VMs affected |
| 20% | Poor operation | Severe imbalances | Critical overcommitment | Critical performance issues for most VMs |
