Analysis of Cloud Environment Using CloudSim

Cloud computing is a thirst area of research since it provides very important services such as platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), mobile "backend" as a service (MBaaS), software as a service (SaaS) in the computing and communication environment. Improving the performance of these services is a major challenge being addressed by many researchers. In the recent past, the cloud environment is set up by the service providers and the service is provided to the user in on-demand basis. The quality of the services provided by cloud computing highly depends on the performance of the cloud computing setup or environment (cloud setup). Developing the real cloud environment and evaluating their performance is impractical as it requires huge investment. Hence, researchers use simulation tools to evaluate the performance of cloud computing before constructing the cloud. The CloudSim is a cloud simulation tool for modeling and simulating the cloud computing environment. This paper presents a performance analysis of cloud computing environment using CloudSim.
