A Practical Fault Tolerance Approach in Cloud Computing Using Support Vector Machine

Abstract

Fault tolerance is an important issue in the field of cloud computing which is concerned with the techniques or mechanism needed to enable a system to tolerate the faults that may encounter during its functioning. Fault tolerance policy can be categorized into three categories viz. proactive, reactive and adaptive. Providing a systematic solution the loss can be minimized and guarantee the availability and reliability of the critical services. The purpose and scope of this study is to recommend Support Vector Machine, a supervised machine learning algorithm to proactively monitor the fault so as to increase the availability and reliability by combining the strength of machine learning algorithm with cloud computing.
