摘要:Server construction using a server virtualization technique has increased due to its advantages including strengthening security, saving storage and costs, and efficient resource utilization. Particularly when the web server has a severe variation of number of users, server virtualization is used. However, constructing a multi-server with virtualization, compared to a single-server, there can be a drop in performance. In this paper we construct several x86_64 servers based on open source server virtualization tools KVM and VirtualBox, and then analyze their performances using open source analyzing tools ab, httperf, and siege. The performance comparison arises in a single server and multi-server construction based on KVM and VirtualBox with a various number of virtual machines. The test result shows that multi-server construction with a virtualization technique can provide an efficient way of multi-server management in a cloud computing environment.
