Impacts of Application Usage and Local Hardware on the Throughput of Computer Networks With Desktop Virtualization

Abstract

Currently, virtualization solutions are employed in the vast majority of organizations around the world. The reasons for this are the benefits gained by the approach, focusing on increases in security, availability and data integrity. These privileges are also present in a new technique, which emerges from this same concept and is called desktop virtualization. This method, compelled by these advantages, has grown considerably and is likely to be implemented on more than three-quarters of organizations before 2014. As it is a technique based on physical client server architecture, it conducts all its actions on a local computer and responds to user interaction, through clients that are physically elsewhere. This means that the technique depends on the communication network which makes the interaction possible. Therefore, the importance of the network is increased and it is important to study its behavior compared to a traditional desktop solution, that is, a local solution. This article demonstrates the impact related to a Quality of Service (QoS) parameter, throughput, which suffered great alterations depending on the implemented computational environment. Concomitantly, other results are expressed concerning the Quality of Experience (QoE) decay with a thin client and a significant benefit of virtualization on the QoS, when remote access is required.

Methodology to Asses Internet Protocol Connection Availability: A Prerequisite For Feasible Video Stream Through Content Delivery Networks

“…In Computer networks, i.e., Internet Protocol networks, Quality of service is an assemble of technical conditions that permeate a qualitative operation for a given application which relies on an IP network to function (Oliveira et al, 2013a;Baldini et al, 2014). These requirements translate into specific QoS parameters in computer networks, such as throughput, jitter, latency and losses (Oliveira et al, 2013b;Khanafer et al, 2014).…”

Implementation of IP Video Streaming Software to Identify Availability and Audience

“…It is also necessary to mention that this paper conducted the widest study, to the best of our knowledge correlated (Krishnan and Sitaraman, 2013), in the IP delivery field. It provides a tool to monitor 16 key metrics and segments it into 6 different scenarios, while providing the coding methods and a mathematical modelling to interpret results (Buyya et al, 2008;Oliveira et al, 2013a;2013b;Chai, 2014;Bedicks Jr., 2008;Cloonan and Allen, 2011;Edwards, 2013;Ellacott, 2014;Greenfield, 2012;Kaduoka, 2016;Katel, 2014;Statista, 2016;McMillan, 2013) Firstly, it was required to expand the functionalities of an existing software that monitors YouTube videos accessed via Google Chrome Browser for desktop in order to capture all the intended variables. It is worth mentioning that the authors of this article also developed the earlier version of this tool.…”

Assisted History Matching for Petroleum Reservoirs in the Social Computing Era

“…The gradientbased method is intrinsically sequential and cannot exploit efficiently parallel architectures; on the other hand, the global optimization methods,in general,are easily parallelizable and can greatly benefit from Science Publications AJAS distributed architectures, which allow running several simulations simultaneously (Selberg et al, 2006). Current developments in multi-core processors allow parallelization of numerical codes and, as a consequence, speed up of the calculations (Oliveira et al, 2013).…”
