The combination of system virtualization and heterogeneous multi-processor architectures can help to create efficient platforms that meet the requirements of increasingly complex embedded systems. Virtualization adds runtime flexibility and facilitates by modular synthesis the creation of a system of systems. However, existing virtualization solutions are characterized by a completely static ma...

Cloud computing enables users to have access to resources on demand. This leads to an increased number of physical machines and data centers in order to fulfill the needs of users which are continuously on the increase. The increase in the number of active physical machines is directly proportional to the increase in the energy consumption. Thus, minimization of energy consumption has become on...

Cloud Data Centers have become the key infrastructure for providing services. Instance migration across different computing nodes in edge and cloud is essential to guarantee quality of service dynamic environments. Many studies been conducted on resource management involving migrating Virtual Machines achieve various objectives, such as load balancing, consolidation, performance, energy-saving,...

Cloud computing promises the advent of a new era service boosted by means virtualization technology. The process creation virtual infrastructure, devices, servers and resources needed to deploy an application smoothly. This extensively practiced technology involves selecting efficient Virtual Machine (VM) complete task transferring applications from Physical Machines (PM) VM or VM. whole is ver...

Cloud computing has become a hot technology. The virtualization technology, one of its core support technologies, is also developing quickly. In recent years, a lot of research and practice have been done in the virtualization field. Live virtual machine migration has drawn much attention as a representative technology of the virtualization field. This paper summarizes the research progress of ...

With the energy and power costs increasing alongside the growth of the IT infrastructures, achieving workload concentration and high availability in cloud computing environments is becoming more and more complex. Virtual machine (VM) migration has become an important approach to address this issue, particularly; live migration of the VMs across the physical servers facilitates dynamic workload ...

Cloud Computing is one of the fast spreading technologies for providing utility-based IT services to its users. Large-scale virtualized datacenters are established in order to provide these services. Based on a pay-as-you-go model, it enables hosting of pervasive applications from consumer, scientific, and business domains. However, datacenters hosting Cloud applications consume huge amounts of...

VMware ESX enables multiple hosts to share the same physical storage reliably through its highly optimized storage stack and VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS). Centralized storage of virtual machines using VMFS provides more control and flexibility. It also enables such unique virtualization capabilities as live migration (VMware VMotion), VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler, VMware H...

Cloud Computing is one of the fast spreading technologies for providing utility-based IT services to its user. Large-scale virtualized data-centers are established to meet this requirement. Data centers consumes large amount of computation power for providing efficient and reliable services to its user. Such large consumption of electrical energy has increased operating cost for the service pro...
