Cloud computing is closely related to multi-tenancy, as it relies on resources that are shared among multiple clients. The provisioning and management of storage resources for cloud applications is an interesting research topic, as reallocation of data over time should be minimised, and the developed strategy should guarantee both data separation and performance isolation for every tenant. In this demo, we present a simulation tool for evaluating and comparing different data allocation strategies. Evaluation using real implementations can be very expensive and time consuming, and is not always possible, due to the scale and complexity of the infrastructure on which they are intended to run. The simulator aids as a tool for inexpensive and rapid evaluation of new techniques, and to validate and finetune new data allocation strategies.
