Virtual machine (VM) live migration, which is the ability to move a VM from one physical host to another under hypervisor control without suspending for a long time, is a capability being increasingly utilized. With IP mobility, a capability for migrating VMs among distributed sites is provided. We call it the global live migration. However, it affects an application program on a VM compared wi...

The concept of network virtualization, such as network functions virtualization, has attracted considerable attention from telecom carriers and a live migration technique is a key feature of virtualization technology. However, there are some challenges associated with applying server virtualization technology including live migration to a SIP server. Previous work has not dealt with the perform...

The ability to migrate a virtual machine (VM) from one physical host to another is important in a number of cases such as power management, on-line maintenance, and load-balancing. The amount of memory used in VMs have been steadily increasing up to several gigabytes. Consequently, the time to migrate machines, the total migration time, has been increasing. The aim of this thesis is to reduce t...

In the virtualization technique, numbers of different components are involved to manage the network, storage, memory. Live migration is the key concept in which the live or active virtual machine is migrated from one host to another host i.e. physical server without disturbing the live environment and the services. This feature is useful for handling the different tasks like power management, I...

Virtualization technology brings great conveniences to cluster and data center management. By using this technique, we can reconstruct a new computing environment quickly and easily. Compared to the traditional cluster environment, load balancing in a virtualized environment needs to address several new problems. This paper focuses on live migration strategies for load balancing in the virtuali...

An indispensable feature enabled by system virtualization is the live migration of virtual machines (VMs). By dynamically relocating an entire execution environment including the operating system from one machine to another, a networked system such as data-center and computing grid can benefit from load balancing, online maintenance and fault tolerance. Ideally, a virtual machine should be able...
