Abstract

Recently, due to the development of next-generation computing devices and high-performance network, VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) is receiving a great deal of attention from IT market as an essential part of cloud computing. VDI enables to host multiple, individual virtual machines that are provisioned from servers located at the data center by using hypervisor. One of the critical issues related to VDI is to reduce the performance difference between virtual machines and physical ones. In this paper, we present a real-time VM monitoring system, called SETMOV, that is able to collect the real-time resource usage information. We also present the performance results using iozone to verify SETMOV.

차세대 단말기 보급과 초고속 네트워크의 발전으로 클라우드 컴퓨팅이 등장하면서 VDI(Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)가 핵심 기술로서 많은 주목을 받고 있다. VDI는 하나의 물리적인 컴퓨터에 하이퍼바이저를 설치하여 다수의 가상머신을 운영하는 기술이다. 현재 VDI 분야의 핵심 이슈는 가상머신과 물리적머신 간의 성능 차이를 줄이는 것이며, 이와 관련된 여러 연구들이 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 서버와 가상머신의 실시간 자원 사용량과 정보를 수집하는 SETMOV(Supervised Real Time Monitoring on VDI)를 설계하고 구현하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 VDI 성능 최적화를 위해 가상머신의 자원 사용량을 분석하여 서버의 자원을 재분배하는 방법을 제시한다.
