Cloud computing provides virtual resources so that end-users or organizations can buy computing power as a public utility. Cloud service providers however must strive to ensure good QoS by offering highly available services with dynamically scalable resources. HA-OSCAR is an open source High Availability (HA) solution for HPC/cloud that offers component redundancy, failure detection, and automatic fail-over. In this paper, we describe HA-OSCAR as a cloud platform and analyze system availability of two potential cloud computing systems, OSCAR-V cluster and HA-OSCAR-V. We also explore our case study to improve Nimbus, a popular cloud IaaS toolkit. The results show that the system that deploys HA-OSCAR has a significantly higher degree of availability. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
