ABSTRACTThe use of virtual machines has increased considerably in recent years. Along withthis practice has arisen the need for a greater deeper understanding in the area. There are fewresearches currently studying the modeling of virtual machines. So this work is dedicated to astudy using two tools, a tool for performance evaluation of hardware and another for chargegeneration in three scenarios with virtual different settings of hardware. Dealing with thehardware in this work was studied the processor, memory and disk. To study the performanceof this hardware, besides the generation of three different scenarios, tests were performed withdifferent workloads, with the intention of evaluating the performance in a lot of situations.The test results demonstrated that using a tool to assess normal benchmarking virtual machineis perfectly feasible and fully transparent. That is, a viewpoint of benchmarking tools tomeasure the performance of a physical or virtual host is indifferent. Despite some variationsin terms of measurements generated, the tool PerformanceTest proved to be very robust in thegeneration of data. New experiments with other tools and even with the same tool should beperformed to validate the results.Key words: Metrics Tools. Virtualization. Monitoring. Analysis
