Abstract
An end-user case study with Electronic Sports League (ESL) using VMware ESX 3.5U1*
with NetQueue feature running on Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series-based servers with
Intel® NICs supporting VMDq feature. Game servers are mission-critical, single-threaded,
processor-intensive, and network-latency sensitive. They were previously believed to be
“non-virtualizeable” due to the overhead of virtualization. In this case, we will show that
game QoS can be preserved on virtualized game servers when using the latest technologies
noted above. We’ll also show that large server consolidation ratios and cost savings can be
achieved at the same time.

ESL Electronic Sports League (ESL) is the largest online gaming community in Europe, with more than 844,000 active users as of August 12, 2008. ESL has deployed thousands of game servers to provide services to its members. Obviously, for a game services company, the game servers are mission critical...
Problem statement ESL’s perception, along with that of many of its peers in the gaming industry, was that gaming servers “can’t be virtualized” due to their mission-critical nature, high CPU utilization, and the critical focus of their user base on the in-game transaction latency. However, ESL was v...
