Analysis of Cloud Sim Toolkit for Implementing Energy Efficient Green Cloud Data Centers

Abstract

Cloud computing is an emerging technology which emphasis on delivering software, platform, infrastructure to the user, based on demand by cloud services providers through general internet-based applications. Consumer can pay for using these resources on the basis of pay as you go model. Cloud Computing is facing many challenges from its seedling stage to yet. Energy management, Load balancing, Server consolidation, Resource utilization, VM Migration cost and time modeling, Security and Network throughput achievements are various known issues. Out of this energy consumption awarding the first position because of the number of energy hungry data centres are growing rapidly due to the increasing popularity of the Cloud Computing among all levels of organizations. But running the applications in the real cloud for testing are much more expensive and researchers often cannot attain the real cloud environment. To conquer these challenges, a test bed of cloud simulator is necessary. Simulation is the act of imitating or pretending like real environment. This paper introduces the characteristics and working of a cloud simulator framework named CloudSim which provides simulation, supremacy to manage cloud services as well as modeling of cloud infrastructure.
