Multiple Virtual Machines Live Migration Performance Modelling -- VMware vMotion Based Study

Abstract

Live migration is one of the powerful features in virtual datacenters environment. Servers load balance, power saving and dynamic resource management techniques are all dependent on live migration feature in virtual datacenters. So it is important to study virtual machine live migration processes and analyze its performance impact on datacentres resources. In this research, the performance analysis for single and multiple virtual machines migration has led to getting empirical models that can be used for live migration overhead estimation and providing resource management techniques that are migration overhead aware.
