Abstract

The virtual machine have memory bottleneck in the application, two mainly aspects are the I/O limit and dynamic virtual machine migtation. GlusterFS is a distributed file storage system with high level and open source uses the Scale-Out architecture and elastic hash algorithm to solve the I/O limit bottleneck. GlusterFS can automatically copy files and provides file sharing service to solve the virtual machine dynamic migration bottleneck. In order to use GlusterFS as the underlying storage devices in a cloud environment, the iozone file system is adopted to test the performance of GlusterFS. The results show that the storage performance of GlusterFS can be improved linear through increasing dynamically the number of physical servers, the speed is stable when multi clients write large files to GlusterFS at the same time, users can define his own data backup number. Therefore, it is a good choice to use GlusterFS to solve the storage bottleneck on virtual machines in a cloud environment.
