High Availability Cloud Maps for Cloud System using HPE Serviceguard

Sustaining High Availability of IAAS (Infrastructure as a Service) services at a Cluster level with judicious cost is a provoking task that received deliberation due to the enormous popularity of Cloud Computing as a reasonable means of IT outsourcing. However, this comes with an additional cost of creating instances in the virtualized environment. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has an innovative solution with the introduction of Cloud Maps. Cloud maps- a scalable and parallel virtual machine spawning application that enables High Availability hallmark at a VM level in a data center. Cloud Maps are implemented and will be used in all Cloud platforms based on OpenStack technology as a high availability facet for efficient failover in zillions of data centers with gobs of servers, VMs and an abundant number of disks. The introduced Cloud Maps will reduce the time required for the creation of nodes in the data centers. This paper also focuses on how Cloud Maps helps one to provision clusters with the High Availability feature enabled in them and how these cluster nodes helps us to maintain continuity in our business services in case of a failure.
