OSSperf – a lightweight solution for the performance evaluation of object-based cloud storage services

摘要

This paper describes the development and implementation of a lightweight software solution, called OSSperf, which can be used to investigate the performance of object-based public cloud storage services like Amazon S3, Google Storage and Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, as well as private cloud re-implementations. Furthermore, this paper presents an explanation of the output of the tool and some lessons learned during the implementation.
