Efficient Load Balancing Techniques for Cloud Computing

Abstract Cloud computing mean is storing and accessing data and programs over the internet instead of computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. A cloud consists of several elements such as clients, data centre and distributed servers and also includes fault tolerance, high availability, scalability, flexibility, reduced overhead for users, reduced cost of ownership, and on demand services etc. Central to these issues lays the establishment of an effective load balancing algorithm. Load balancing ensures that all the processor in the system or every node in the network does nearly equal amount of work at any instant of time. This technique can be sender initiated, receiver initiated or symmetric. In this paper we developed an effective load balancing algorithm using load scheduling theorem with different parameters for the clouds of different sizes for higher performance.
