Abstract
Performance of a cloud is a critical issue and dependent on various factors that include load balancing used to distribute the load at data center. Proliferation of the cloud paradigm is profoundly dependent on the performance of the cloud. Therefore, to examine the cloud performance, it is significant to identify the factors that govern cloud performance. This work is focused to identify the factors that may have significant impact on the cloud performance. To identify the performance factors, we have reviewed the major publications of the last five years as well as the major real time cloud performance tools offered. Study revealed that response time is the major factor that has the significant impact on cloud computing performance. Finally, we have conducted an experiment to establish the dependency of response time on various load balancing techniques and number of data center. Experiment revealed that the round robin is directly proportional to the number of data center
