Sažetak
Cloud computing promises efficient use of hardware resources through virtualization and elastic computing facilities. Various cloud computing solutions have emerged on the market from open- source communities and commercial vendors. In this paper we discuss criteria for feature comparison of private cloud platforms and compare several open-source and commercial products. We test performance of hypervisors used in these clouds with a set of benchmark suites containing tests for various aspects of the system. We discuss the results in the context of what is commonly described as a scientific workload. The described feature and performance differences can help make wiser platform choices.
