Adaptive resource provisioning techniques for enhancing the quality of service in virtualized cloud environment

Abstract

Cloud computing is a technological advancement that provides the means of delivering a significant part of Information Technology (IT) to an end user as a service on an anywhere and anytime basis. It primarily allows the use of shared resources through a network in a cost-effective manner. It also focuses on the way in which the computing systems and applications are designed and developed. It is based on the concept of dynamic provisioning and is applied to computing capability, storage, networking and IT infrastructure in general that store and manages data on the Internet. Of late, it has become crucial for businesses as it provides access based on pay-per-use model that transforms the focus from Personal Computer (PC) to data centers. Additionally, it provides services such as data security, scalability, and accessibility with zero maintenance and effective data recovery. newline
