A Dynamic Hierarchical Load Balancing Service Architecture for Cloud Data Centre Virtual Machine Migration

Abstract

Growth and focus are towards the high-performance computing, and the paradigm shift for computational research is moving towards the data-centre-centric management of the application. During the last decade, the demand for high performance and timely responsive nature of the applications has increased to the peak and to match up with the demand every service provider has moved applications to the cloud data centre. Nevertheless, cloud data centres struggled to provide the desired response. The parallel research outcomes have demonstrated the uplifting of load balancing mechanism on cloud data centres. However, the architectural dependencies have been the bottlenecks to improve the performance of the load balancing algorithms. The optimal settings of the architectural components in data centres are yet to be proposed to standardize the framework with the proper justification of the hardware and maintainability cost. This paper proposes optimal dynamic and hierarchical hybrid data centre architecture to enhance the load balancing performance from the virtual components of the cloud data centres. It also proposes a performance comparison matrix to evaluate the performance of the existing data centre architectures and the proposed hybrid architecture. The final outcome of this paper is the simulated results from the optimal dynamic and hierarchical hybrid data centre architecture for virtual machine migration policy to be optimal to support the load balancing mechanisms.
