Hyper-V benchmarking
After successfully establishing some performance baselines for Hyper-V, it's important to create regular benchmarks of your Hyper-V environment. Use MAP or SCOM to monitor the performance of the common performance counters, but I recommend that you use an overall benchmark from time to time to make sure that the performance on the application level is consistent.
Which type of benchmark you use depends on your workload. I highly recommend a standardized benchmark that utilizes a database and an application tier. The primary benchmark for this is the SAP SD benchmark. If you are a SAP customer, this is the way to go.
