On demand IOPS calculation in cloud environment to ease linux-based application delivery

Abstract

Today’s era of cloud computing and everlasting demands for real-time analysis of the storage data on cloud, it is essential for IT industries to have cognizance about the storage performance. Cloud is elastic computing model where users can hire computing and on demand storage resources from a remote infrastructure and its popularity depends on low cost and on demand availability. Simultaneous execution of huge number of data-intensive applications on the public cloud call for a huge amount of storage in order to access the persistent data leads to degradation of overall system performance. IT personnel have to be assisted with storage performance measurement for prediction of best storage need. Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) calculation helps to determine the amount of I/O’s storage to run. This IOPS calculation is incorporated in cloud environment to alleviate Linux based application delivery.
