The work reviews a development of mathematical solution for modeling heterogeneous distributed data storages. There is a review of different approaches of modeling (Monte-Carlo, agent-based modeling). Performance analysis of systems based on commercial solutions of Oracle and freeware solutions (Cassandra, Hadoop) is provided. It's assumed that developed tool will help optimize data...
