Abstract

The aim of the article is to compare the performance of five popular virtualization solutions used in the private cloud model. The analysis was conducted for five virtualizers: Proxmox, OpenVZ, OpenNebula, Vmware ESX, Xen Server. OpenSSL, GeekBench and Phoronixtest-suite tools were used to perform performance tests. The comparison included selected encryption methods, data block size, and compilation speed
