Abstract Organizations widely use cloud computing to outsource their needs. One crucial issue of is that services must be available clients at all times. However, the may temporarily unavailable due maintenance infrastructure, load balancing services, defense against cyber attacks, power management, proactive fault tolerance, or resource usage. The unavailability impacts negatively on business ...

Live migration enables a running virtual machine to move between two physical hosts with no perceptible interruption in service. This allows customers to avoid costly downtimes associated with hardware maintenance and upgrades, and facilitates automated load-balancing. Consequently, it has become a critical feature of enterprise class virtual infrastructure. In the past, live migration only mov...

The in compliance between user requests and the specification of physical server in cloud computing led to poor load balancing, poor performance and large power consumption etc. Concentrating at this problem, this paper presents an energy-aware resource scheduling strategy based on dynamic migration of virtual machines. The strategy integrates the virtualization characteristics of cloud computi...

A distributed Java virtual machine called SingleJava based on thread migration is proposed in this paper. SingleJava can be used to build a distributed computing framework while keeping itself completely transparent to Java programmers. The main idea underlying is to improve the inevitable Java virtual machine in a Java based software system, i.e., adding a build-in distributed infrastructure t...

Nowadays service oriented computing requires enlarging the virtualized datacenters. Quality of service has been the sole concern in cloud datacenter deployment. This demand will increase the operational cost and carbon dioxide emissions. Virtualization technology support Virtual Machine consolidation and migration. This will improve the server utilization, availability, fault tolerance and ener...

In Vehicular Cloud (VC), Storage as Service (STaaS) is different from other services in vehicle cloud environment for the fact that it involves the migration of virtual OBU to be used by a data center, thus requiring more security issues to be addressed. In this paper, we propose a Secure Virtual Machine Migration Protocol Steps which can achieve secure handling in vehicular environment. Based ...
