Abstract:Computing in the cloud changes the way Information Technology (IT) is managed and disbursed, given an improved costefficacies, faster novelty, quicker time-to-market, and the capacity of scaling applications on request (Arora & Gupta, 2012). Most organizations are now opting for web based services, since the use of virtual networking infrastructure in cloud storage does not only reduce costs, eliminates hardware failures and security risks such as theft of physical components in the real world, but also provides a graphical user interface for the topology design allowing for realistic simulation of networks and high performance displaying modules as an added advantage for modern enterprises. This research focuses on examining the performance and relations of distributed systems in servers used for cloud storage on virtual platforms, by analyzing the behavior and efficiency of server performances in three different scenarios in a cloud network using Riverbed Edu 17.5 edition as a virtual network platform simulation tool. Networks with three different server scenarios simulated against time in a network were modelled. The focus was on the server performance, at different loads and processing speeds. The simulation was configured for about 100 workstations in a manner that all the applications and users can access the parameters; database, file transfer protocol, hypertext transfer protocol, and email response times on cloud utilization throughputs in two directions. The results for server performance in efficiency and viability is analyzed and evaluated with conclusions drawn as a guiding principle for organizations and companies considering the use or using servers for cloud storage.
