benchANT is company striving to enable data-driven decision making by proving decision makers, product owners, and marketing departments an easy-to-use solution for measuring the capabilities of complex, cloud-based systems.
Herewith, benchANT's main focus lies on all types of Cloud-hosted Database Management Systems (DBMS) be they run on Infrastructure-as-a-Service, as a managed service, or as a Database-as-a-Service. Yet, with a sophisticated technology stack in-place we are also able to address servers, storage systems, and message queues.
benchANT's approach is to perform batches of benchmarks to evaluate the performance of different technologies, different cloud providers, and different hardware/software configurations. Performance here not only includes classical performance metrics such as throughput, but can also include further non-functional properties such as availability. The data gained through benchmarking can be used to address many problems including capacity planning, optimization, cost reduction, and forecasting.
