Create parameter-based benchmark tests to identify impact on storage

[ksatchit]

Create automated performance tests that focus on identifying impact of specific workload parameters on the storage solution, such as :

transfer/block size
read/Write ratios
queue depth
data reduction ratios via dedupe, compression
etc..,

These tests must involve taking performance metrics for various values for each of these metrics and enabling visualisation of result data. Typically, these shall be executed and results compared in cases of important changes in the I/O path of the code.
