In this work we investigate the impact of virtualization on the raw network performance attainable by "data-intensive" applications deployed in a private cloud. To this end we developed a new software tool, called OSMeF, to take repeatable measurements on our Open Stack-based platform. We also discuss the implications of our measurement results toward informed deployments of distributed applications such as Hadoop.
