The emergence of cloud-computing and the apparent shift to this new paradigm has led to the creation of data centres that consist of hundreds of thousands of servers. The Cloud is a distributed system that helps share data and provides resources to the users. The data and the distributed resources are stored in the open environment. This paper presents a model of cloud load balancing using queuing and probability theory. A queuing cloud model is discussed with load balancing perspective. We present analysis for two servers and then extended it to n server. In addition, an optimal strategy is modelled for cloud load balancing. The analytical results are verified through numeric simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
