Hi Bua
These numbers are cpu utilization that are monitored every 5 seconds for one vm. they have done expriments with these real workloads, under 800 hosts and in each scenario with various number of VMs eg:1033 or 1200 or ..., so u can see in each workload, number of files according to number of VMs. each file equal to one vm utilization. eg: workload 20110304 , has 1033 files ,in each file u can see 288 instances coz: 5minutes*288=24 hours.(they have done each expriment for one day=24 hours)
hope help u
Regards
Neda
