Performance Evaluation of WBEM Implementations

We have been developing an Internet server and have decided to use WBEM as its management framework. Rather than developing our own, we have decided to use one of the available WBEM implementations. In order to aid our decision, we have carried out performance evaluations of WBEM Services, OpenPegasus, and OpenWBEM. In order to perform fair and uniform evaluation, we have developed an integrated testing suite. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of our integrated testing suite as well as the performance evaluation results.
