High-performance service scheduling strategy for cloud environment

Abstract

Cloud computing, as an emerging computing model, provides storage, network and computing resources as services to the requested users on demand over the Internet. Efficient and convenient utilization of cloud resources to achieve high throughput and quality of service (QoS) is a major challenge. Hence, in order to achieve good QoS and high performance of the cloud, this paper has proposed a data center-based cloud architecture and an efficient service scheduling strategy. This is done by monitoring the changing resource and virtual machine (VM) status with dynamic VM configuration. The main targets of the proposed work are to achieve high throughput with good QoS. The simulation results demonstrate that it achieves the objectives. © 2014 Springer India.
