Research of virtualization services valuation for cloud computing environments

Abstract

Demand of cloud computing service that uses the Big-table is increasing recently. This is effective method to use computer resource to user ubiquitously. So, Internet Service and Virtualization Service are must be prepared to offer Cloud Computing Environments. In this time, virtualization service infrastructure has independent structure that is offered by each companies design and created specifications, Because of standardization about function, specification and performance are unprepared state about virtualization services. Therefore, we wish to propose common standards that can measure standard functions and performance of virtualization service, which can apply to companies which provide service. We established 6 common estimation items with functionality, authoritativeness, usability, efficiency, preservation conservativeness and portability about virtualization solutions. And about each item, established suitable 19 detail estimation items to ISO/IEC 9126 concretely. We examined whether we observe 19 details estimation items that the most representative VMware solution proposes among virtualization solutions. And we described results that examine availability whether we are suitable standard function and service about existent virtualization service using our proposed scheme in this research. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media.
