Development of Markovian Chains for Estimating the Availability of IaaS in Clouds

Abstract

Cloud computing is a recently developed technology for complex systems with massive scale service sharing, differing from distributed grid computing resource sharing systems. Cloud computing entices users by offering applications, platforms, and infrastructure without any initial investments, which is advantageous for small organizations. This paper proposes a model for assessing the readiness of cloud infrastructure, considering the consequences of failure in various server components, network, and power sources.
