Capacity based Load Balancing for Handling Read only Transactions in Cloud Data Storage

Abstract

Load balancing is playing vital role in cloud computing. An effective load balancer distributes the load among servers. Hence it needs to satisfy the user with minimum response time and correct data. Moreover, the main intension of load balancing algorithms is the proper utilization of resources to improve the performance of the overall system. It also maximizes throughput. This paper proposes algorithm for distributing the read load among servers based on their capacity and minimum active connections. As the client requests are distributed based on their capacity, servers can provide quick response. And also minimum active connection server is considered for service. So, it can provide better service to the clients with minimum response time and maximum throughput.
