Cloudevbench - Virtualization Technology Efficiency Testing Tool For The Distributed Infrastructures

The virtualized systems are today a very popular topic and their using plays the great role in current datacenters. The virtualization efficiency is a very important aspect in the real system deployment. Some studies have been published about this topic [1], mainly are based on various benchmarking techniques and are integrated into the specialized testing tools. Such a benchmark tool, which is able to simulate the behavior of a real computing system under the stress of different virtualization configurations, can e.g. well answer the question how many virtual machines could be simultaneously executed on it and how big the virtualization overhead is [2]. We developed and applied a new benchmark tool, which is able to measure the virtualization efficiency and overhead in the virtualization environment.
