Towards cost aware ca pacity provisioning and load balancing in fault tolerant dis tributed data centers

Abstract

Many critical e commerce and nancial services are deployed on geo distributed data centers GDCs for scalability and availability Recent market surveys show that failures are common in the data centers and this results in a huge nancial loss Designing data centers for high availability includes spare capacity provisioning across the data centers The work in this thesis addresses the problems of cost aware capacity provisioning and load balancing in fault tolerant GDCs to mask the failure
