Installation and Performance Evaluation of the DSpace
Abstract
The article discusses cutting-edge open source software, DSpace, designed to create modern open digital libraries and repositories in academic and other organizations. This software is supported by a large community of developers and enthusiasts from all over the world. DSpace provides a robust software platform for ongoing access to research materials and other valuable digital data. It provides centralized storage, access and management of content, assets and other digital resources, giving researchers an easy and secure way to access their publications.
The purpose of this article is to test the DSpace system and study its advantages and disadvantages. The most important aspects of the installation are described. Also, the article discusses issues of DSpace compatibility with other systems. In general, the article gives a general idea of the Dspace system and its capabilities. To solve this problem, the operation of all standard tools of this system used for its installation and configuration was tested. To evaluate the performance of the system under test, the CPU utilization and load average metrics were used. These are the two main metrics that are used to monitor the performance of a system. Overall, the use of these metrics allows you to quickly identify system performance problems and take corrective action to ensure stable and efficient operation of applications and services. The data necessary for the assessment was obtained through the monitoring system of the cloud infrastructure of LIT JINR, on which a test site for studying Dspace was deployed.
