FAULT TOLERANCE IN DCDIDP USING HAProxy

With the growing demand of Cloud Computing, Fault tolerance is a major concern because there are many types of failure occur and fault tolerance guarantee availability and reliability of critical issues as well as applications. Fault tolerant technique necessary to enable a system to tolerate software faults remaining in the system after its development. When a fault occurs, these techniques provides system failure occurrence. We purpose fault tolerance in DCDIDP framework using HAProxy. DCDIDP (Distributed, Collaborative, and Data-driven Intrusion Detection and Prevention system) framework’s goal is to make use of the recourses in the cloud and provides holistic IDPS for all cloud service providers which collaborate with other peers in a distributed manner at different architecture level to respond to attack. But DCDIDP does not provides fault tolerance, it only focus on IDPS to defend against intruder. HAProxy fault tolerant techniques are used to predict these failure and take an appropriate action before failure actually occur. The main benefits of implementing fault tolerance in DCDIDP include failure recovery, lower cost, and improved performance etc.
