Abstract

In this paper the authors evaluate the CPU Consumption, Memory Utilization and Transfer Time between 5 Hypervisors XEN-PV, XEN-HVM, OpenVZ, KVM-FV and KVM-PV by using FTP and HTTP approaches. All the results are compared with the Real Environment. From the experimental results, the authors have concluded that OpenVZ and XEN-PV have better performance than other hypervisors. The worse performance is for KVM Hypervisor. In our paper we have used some scripts in order to evaluate the performance of these Hypervisors.
