Abstract

Many enterprises are increasingly moving their applications to private cloud environments or public cloud platforms. A key technology driving cloud computing is virtualization which can serve multiple VMs in one physical machine hence providing better management flexibility and significant savings in operational costs. However, one important consequence of virtualized hosts in the cloud is the negative impact it has on the I/O performance of the applications running in the VMs.
