Performance analysis of cloud applications using cloud analyst

Abstract

Advancements in the cloud computing is initiating the new opportunities for cloud applications. Now people, devices and networks are constantly generating huge data. There exist several tools that can be used to model such environment and to study the behavior of large scale applications or services. Cloud Analyst is the one of the best visual modeler and analyzing tool for cloud environment. The Cloud Analyst tool is having global visualization modeling capability. In this tool, we can model geographically distributed computing servers and user workloads. It provides easy to use visual tool so that a modeler can fully concentrate on the simulation parameters rather than the complexities of programming. In this paper, we review the feature and simulation screens of Cloud Analyst and analytical study of different simulation configuration setup. We have explored various simulation scenarios and analyze the result of different scenarios.
