Comparison and test for several typical cloud computing platforms

Abstract

Since cloud computing is proposed, increasing enterprises are investing and researching on it for the high scalability, powerful computing capability and inexpensiveness. Quite a number of cloud computing platforms were put forward. This paper analyzed several typical cloud platforms and compared the differences between these platforms. Finally, the paper deployed an experimental platform based on VMware cloud, and then test the computing performance of the platform with massive floating car data. The results show that the cloud computer platform can shorten the calculation time of mass data and improve performance significantly with high scalability.
