 ABSTRACT
Server consolidation, an application form of virtualization technology, consolidates multiple physical servers into a single or fewer real machines. It results in higher resource utilization and smaller space consumption and is considered as a tendency for enterprise application deployment. Some researches were carried for evaluating its static performance. However, few researches were done on the dynamic performance. Here, we present VSCBenchmark for evaluating the dynamic performance of server consolidation, such as creating and killing the VMs under different workload. Besides evaluating the performance change under different application scenarios, the benchmark also simplifies the construction and configuration of testing scenarios as much as possible. In this paper, a general overview of VSCBenchmark and its implementation are introduced. We also present some experimental results and characterize the dynamic performance of Xen and OpenVZ using VSCBenchmark.
