Description
The emergence of cloud computing technology has motivated a very high number of users
in different organizations to access its services in running and delivering their various
operations and services. However, this surge of cloud users has led to the problem of
uneven load sharing among the cloud computing infrastructures. As a result, federated
cloud infrastructure was initiated to provide more cloud computing resources to
accommodate more cloud users’ requests and also to provide equal requests mapping with
the available cloud resources. Nevertheless, the issue of unequal allocation of requests
within the datacenter(s) that makes up the federated cloud environment still persists. This
research work presents an intra-datacenter load balancing algorithm in a federated cloud
environment named; the intra-balancer adapted throttled algorithm to evenly distribute
requests in each datacenter that formulate the federated cloud infrastructures. The
simulation of the intra-balancer was carried out in CloudAnalyst, the results of the
implementation showed that the intra-balancer outperformed the Round-Robin and ESCE
with 98.93ms and 2.26ms for the response and processing time respectively. The results
assert that the intra-balancer algorithm provides a better load balancing solution in a
federated cloud environment.
