Blockchain technology has transformed traditional data storage and organization by introducing decentralized ledgers, ensuring data integrity through its resistance to tampering and alteration. Hyperledger Fabric, a popular industry platform, effectively manages high volumes of transactions on the blockchain. However, concerns about throughput and the factors influencing its value persist. This research paper conducts a performance analysis of Hyperledger Fabric on two distinct infrastructure setups: physical servers and virtual servers. The goal of this evaluation is to establish a baseline configuration derived from the performance results, which can be beneficial for future blockchain enhancement research. The experimental outcomes, based on 18,000 transactions, demonstrate that physical servers generally outperform virtual servers in terms of throughput, success rate, average latency, and resource consumption. These findings can guide practitioners in optimizing their blockchain platform adoption, tailored to their specific application requirements.
