| Summary: | This paper focus is the mathematical modeling of the file system performance in virtual environment when
using type-1 hypervisors. The modeling provides a set of hypotheses related to the expected behavior.
The presented model is validated based on the analysis of a collection of the results obtained for a
specific case study. Our case study includes the file system performance comparison, in full hardware
virtualization, when examining four dominant type-1 hypervisors: ESXi, KVM, Hyper-V, and Xen. We chose
Filebench as a benchmark tool, which guarantees comprehensive and versatile testing of file system
performance, whereas for all tested hypervisors we have provided an equivalent environment and testing
conditions. For all the examined hypervisors, we have tested the cases with one, two, and three virtual
machines that are running simultaneously, whereas CentOS 6.3 Linux is used as the guest operating system.
We have further validated the mathematical model and defined hypotheses by the means of the case study
benchmark results. |
