Cloud Simulation Environment and Application Load Monitoring

Cloud computing is now across all the enterprises and they are being benefitted by the low cost and highly available environment. Cloud computing has changed the way industries used to work with all by their own concept. Sharing of resources and availability of on demand computational power has made the work easier for the smaller and large enterprises both. But the initial estimation for the requirement of the resources and to measure the peak time load or load at non peak hour so that enterprise or a proof of concept can use the cloud optimally was still the problem. Cloud Computing is a service based model and a well defined resource requirement leads to a optimal utilization of the resources. Cloud Simulation is a powerful tool to simulate the exact environment, visualizing the usage patterns and to monitor the load. CloudSim is Cloud Simulation framework that provides all these capabilities and can be used monitor the usage patterns. In this paper we are using CloudSim API [3] to monitor the load patterns of the various users of a web application.
