Abstract

As business enterprises and industries worldwide are increasingly becoming dependent on using online transactions, the demand for high-end and efficient transaction monitor systems becomes a serious issue. This paper presents a new cutting-edge Virtual Machine-based TPC-C Benchmarking and Analysis System, a unique platform for testing the efficiency of a TP (Transaction Processing) monitor for processing a large number of online transactions. Our design is aimed to host a large number of virtual machine instances run simultaneously on a high-end server. In this design we exploit Xen 3.0, an extremely efficient x86 virtual machine monitor using paravirtualization under the Linux Fedora operating system.
