A cost effective approach for resource scheduling in cloud computing

Cloud Computing is a major area of research. Cost and Load balancing has become an important QoS parameter. Load Balancing directly affects the Reliability, Response Time, Throughput and Energy Efficiency of a Server. A good Load Balanced architecture implies minimized overall time, less server failure, minimized response time, increased throughput and less wastage of energy. Such architecture also implies a better scheduling of jobs and achieving a better Quality of Service (QoS). The paper states that Load Balanced Resource Scheduling also leads to a decreased overall cost. A new modified cost effective algorithm is proposed which minimizes the overall resource cost. Various Simulations demonstrated in the paper prove the above fact. Also as the approach deals with the energy efficiency concept, it is also a move towards Green IT.
