Abstract

In this paper, we chose IOPS(input output operation per second) and MB/s as a performance standard, and we developed the evaluation standard for the storage performance. Since there is no vendor-neutral evaluation criteria for storage performance, it is difficult to evaluate storage performance and design the storage resource's sizing. We proposed block size for measurement of the storage's IOPS for OLTP(online transaction processing) application to 4KB, 8KB and 16KB and read/write rate of it to 7:3. On the other hand, we proposed block size for measurement of the storage's IOPS for backup, VOD, Large file processing) to 64KB, 256KB and 1024KB and read/write rates of it to 7:3 and 1:0. Finally, we proposed the Vdvench BMT tool, which is independent on platform. We also developed the result reporting tool for developed evaluation criteria.

본 연구에서는 스토리지 성능평가에 필요한 대표적인 성능지표로 IOPS 및 MB/s 을 결정하고 이를 평가하기 위한 지침을 개발하였다. 현재, 벤더 중립적인 스토리지 평가기준이 없기 때문에 스토리지 성능평가나 스토리지 자원 규모를 설계하는데 어려움이 있었다. 연구결과, OLTP 응용에 활용되는 스토리지는 IOPS를 성능지표로 하고 측정을 위한 블록크기는 4KB, 8KB, 16KB, 읽기대쓰기 비율은 7:3으로 측정하는 것을 제안하였다. 한편, 백업, VOD, LFP(Large File Processing) 과 같은 대용량 처리 응용에 사용되는 스토리지는 MB/s를 성능지표로 하고, 측정을 위한 블록크기는 64KB, 256KB, 1,024KB 으로 하고 읽기대 쓰기 비율은 1:0 으로 하는 것을 제안하였다. 끝으로 개발된 평가지침을 이용한 측정결과보고서 양식을 개발하였으며 측정도구로는 플랫홈에 비종속적인 Vdvench 측정도구를 제안하였다.
