HiLiCLoud: High performance and lightweight mobile cloud infrastructure for monitor and benchmark services

In the area of cloud infrastructure environment, the management tool to monitor and control the cloud resources is the important factor that can drive the cost benefit of the cloud vendors. But most these tools are bundled within the high cost commercial platforms and are optimized to run on desktop computers. With the vision that Mobile Cloud Computing will be the future technology paradigm that dominates the IT industry, we want to create a cloud management tool that is open source, fast, lightweight and mobile friendly. We take the initial steps by implementing our framework using several popular technologies such as RESTful, Java Message Service, JSON, and we call it “High performance and Lightweight Mobile Cloud Infrastructure Monitor and Benchmark Service” or HiLiCloud. The initial testings show competitive evaluation results.
