Comparison the Performance of Open Source Cloud Storage on a Virtualization Server for Business Organizations
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to compare the performance of five open-source server-based cloud storage programs, namely Nextcloud, ownCloud, Seafile, Pydio, and Tonido. The comparison was conducted using three testing methods: Method 1 involved measuring the data transfer speed (bandwidth), Method 2 involved testing the response time by simulating a scenario where 40 users simultaneously download data, and Method 3 involved measuring the throughput, which represents the number of user requests processed per minute. The research findings revealed that Nextcloud demonstrated efficient response time performance compared to other programs. On the other hand, Seafile exhibited faster throughput performance compared to Nextcloud. Regarding bandwidth performance for file uploads, Seafile was the fastest, followed by Tonido for file downloads.
