Benchmark Object for Virtual Machines

The most cost effective approach to study the performance of virtualization technology is to use the benchmark. In this paper, we present a new evaluation methodology to deploy a benchmark evaluation with a Benchmark Object. By encapsulating three steps of traditional benchmark processes and implementing an instance from a Benchmark Object, users need not evaluate manually. Furthermore, a Benchmark Object simplifies the use of benchmarks and saves a great deal of duplicate work to deploy, configure and execute benchmarks and analyze their results. We develop the virtualization system performance evaluation management facility to implement and manage the concept of a Benchmark Object. We discuss this performance evaluation tool in detail, test the performance of the tool, and draw some conclusions.
