Virtualization Approach to Reduce Network Latency for Thin Client Performance Optimization in Cloud Computing Environment

Thin Clients with Virtual Desktops prove to be the best equipments to access the online services provided by the cloud over the internet. Some of the proven benefits of thin clients are lower cost of ownership and very less power consumption which supports to Green Computing. The ability of thin client can be increased by reducing network latency to improve the performance and usability of thin clients. Network latency causes a great delay in transmitting a message or communication from one location to another. Many other external factors, like congestion in the network, bandwidth limitation, computer storage capacities and the distance between two locations also contribute to the delay. The proposed paper aims at the issues of Network Latency and its various aspects in a thin client network. The paper also undergoes with experimenting thin client with different environment to find network latency which helped in finding conclusion and proposing new ideology for reducing network latency. The experiments are performed on simulated banking application and running it over thin client with different services. This inshore about the need of reducing network latency for real time thin client and cloud computing environment to increase its performance and provides a better user experiences. The paper also proposes new methods to overcome such problems.
