Abstract
Cloud has become one of the variant access storage and retrieval network these days. Using a basic credential and user
information a user can process/request multiple data at a time. Due to increased server traffic concentration, the
possibility of serving a user in-time and constant traffic patterns in a cloud are being affected that are considered to be
the drawbacks in cloud concept. Though various optimization algorithms have been proposed for LB and to preserve
lossy connections recent approaches in HBLB have been admired in resource allocation and user in-time-service
metrics. Yet the fulfillment is restricted with one-time-resources fetch and refetching process of a vm after utilizing
resources. To minimize the re-use of resources and to avoid multiple agent access of a vm-resource, we propose a
Probe based definite vm resource sharing method to avoid complexity and time variant method of a cloud server in
optimization. Besides LB, a probabilistic resource best after fetch and release helps in preserving the re- allocation of
the resource before it is actually being dismissed.
Keywords: load balancing, virtual machine, traffic concentration, resources allocation, fetching, optimization.

INTRODUCTION

Cloud computing is a new technology. It provides all

the data at a lower cost. In cloud computing users can
access resources all the time through internet. They need to
pay only for those resources as much they use .In Cloud
computing cloud provider outsourced all the resources to
their client. There are many existing issues in cloud
computing. The main problem is load balancing in cloud
computing. Load balancing helps to distribute all loads
between all the nodes. It also ensures that every computing
resource is distributed efficiently and fairly. It helps in
preventing bottlenecks of the system which may occur due
to load imbalance. It provides high satisfaction to the
users. Load balancing is a relatively new technique that
provides high resource utilization and better response
time[1].
Cloud computing and storage solution provide users
and enterprises with various capabilities to store and
process their data in third party data centers. It relies on
sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economics
of scale. Cloud computing is a model for enabling
convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool
of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks,
servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal
management effort or service provider interaction. The
cloud model of computing promotes availability.

A. CLOUD COMPUTING MODEL

To need ever changing business needs organization
need to invest time, budget, to scale up their IT
infrastructure such as hardware, software and services. In
on premises IT infrastructure the scaling process can be
slow and organizations are frequently unable to achieve
optimal utilization of the IT infrastructure. Cloud
communication provides computing over the internet. A
communication service consists of highly optimization data
centers that provide various software, hardware and
information services/ resources for use. We needed
organization can simply connect to the cloud and use the
available resources on the on pay for use basis. This helps
company to avoid capital expenditure and additional on
premises infrastructure resources and instead of scale up or
scale down according to business requirements. The
following is the overall cloud computing model diagram
with its services and its on demand services. This causes
the storage space to be expandable. The layer and its
functionalities are explained with the offset demands [1].

Cloud computing definition in various aspects: i) cloud

computing is defined as a type of computing that relies on
sharing computing resources rather than having local server
or personal device to handle application [2] ii) Cloud
computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous network
access to a shared pool of configurable computing
resources [3].

B. TYPES OF CLOUD SERVICES

(i). Software as a Service (SaaS)

Advantages

SaaS provided all the application to the consumer

which is provided by the providers. Applications are
running on a cloud infrastructure. Interfaces (web
browser) are used access the applications. The consumer
does not control the internal function. The capability
provided to the consumer in this highest level is to use the
providers applications running on a cloud infrastructure.
The applications are accessible from various client devices
through a thin client interface such as a Web browser (e.g.,
Web-based e-mail). The consumer does not manage or
control the underlying cloud infrastructure, including
network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even
individual application capabilities, with the possible
exception of limited user-specific application configuration
settings. That Customers who are not able to developed
software, but they need high level applications can also be
take advantages from SaaS. There are some of applications
of software of services. Customer resource management
(CRM) Video conferencing, IT service management,
Accounting, Web analytics, Web content management
Advantages
1. SaaS Cloud Providers often take into account
multiple platforms: mobile, browser, and so on. If you or
your organization wants software that can be accessed
from multiple platforms, this might be an easy way to
make that happen. As part of this, SaaS Cloud Providers
may also provide apps for mobile devices.
2. The SaaS Cloud Provider may provide better
security than your existing software (securityor
inadequate securitycan also be a disadvantage). Better
security may come in part because it is critical for the SaaS
Cloud Provider and is part of their main business. In-house
security, on the other hand, is not usually an individual's or
a organization's main business and, therefore, may not be
as good as that offered by the SaaS Cloud Provider.[4]
3.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

PaaS provides all the resources to the customers that are

required for building applications. It provides all the
services on the internet .User not need to download and
install the software. Consumers deploy all the application
onto the cloud infrastructure. There are different tools and
programming languages are provided to the uses to develop
the applications. The consumer does not control network,
servers, operating systems, or storage. Consumer controls
all applications which they deploy.
The capability provided to the consumer in this
intermediate
level
is to deploy onto the cloud
infrastructure consumer created or acquired applications
developed using programming languages and tools
supported by the provider. The consumer does not manage
or control the underlying cloud infrastructure, including
network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has
control over the deployed applications and possibly
application hosting environment configurations.

1. The maintenance and upgrades of tools, database

systems, etc. and the underlying infrastructure are the
responsibility of the PaaS Cloud Provider.
2. Various pricing models may allow paying only for
what you use. This, for example, can allow an individual or
a small organization to use sophisticated development
software that they could not afford if it was installed on an
internal, dedicated server.[4]
3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
In this service consumer does not manage or control the
underlying cloud infrastructure. In infrastructure as a
service consumer able to control operating systems,
storage, and all applications which they deployed. There is
a limited control of customer on the networking
components. Infrastructure Providers control storing and
processing capacity. Virtualization is used assign and
dynamically resizes these resources to build systems as
demanded by customers. Consumers deploy the software
stacks that run their services. Provider provide network,
services as on demand services. User use these services
directly .It can be used to avoid buying, housing, and
managing the basic hardware and software infrastructure
components, scales up and down quickly to meet demand.
The capability provided to the consumer is to provision
processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental
computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy
and run arbitrary software, which can include operating
systems and applications. The consumer does not manage
or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has
control over operating systems; storage, deployed
applications, and possibly limited control of select
networking components (e.g., host firewalls).
Advantages
1. Various pricing models may allow paying only fir
what we use. This, for example, can allow individual or a
small organization to use sophisticated development
software that they could not afford if it was installed on an
internal, dedicated server.
2. Some IaaS Providers provide development options
for multiple platforms: mobile, browser, and so on. If you
or your organization wants to develop software that can be
accessed from multiple platforms, this might be an easy
way to make that happen [4].

TYPES OF CLOUD
1) Public Cloud: The cloud infrastructure is made
available to the general public or a large industry group and
is owned by an organization .Anyone can use public cloud
as they want without restriction[5].
2) Private Cloud: The cloud infrastructure is used by a
single organization. Private cloud is only managed by the
organization or a third party[5].
3) Community Cloud: The cloud infrastructure is
shared by many organizations. Community cloud supports
a specific community that has shared concerns. Ex:security requirements, policy, compliance considerations. It
may be managed by the organizations or a third party[5].

4) Hybrid Cloud: Hybrid cloud is a combination of

two or more clouds (private, community, or public). That
remains unique entities but is bound together by
standardized technology that enables data and application
portability. Ex: cloud bursting for load-balancing between
clouds [5].

LOAD BALANCING TECHNIQUE

A. HONEY BEE TECHNIQUE

Honey-bee based resource allocation has two stages.
One is dancing phase and other is LB phase. In a dancing
phase, the agent map request handlers to each of the
resources to fetch appropriate data to serve the request. The
agents make a traversal in the time lesser than the time out,
to service the request. The LB phase is active when a server
is flooded due to unexpected fragments approaching the
server.

Probe time is the maximum active time after a resource

is being released from one request and is awaiting a
released time. If a request needs the balanced resource, but
its Probe Time exceeds the actual release time, the virtual
machine moves the resource to the local cloud storage. The
local storage sets a timed out condition for the started data
within which it has to be served. Once the data is server,
the local manager re-imbuses the stored data to the virtual
machine from which the release phase is continued. If
number of request has approached a virtual machine within
the Probe Time, then the virtual machine releases the
resources.

The response handler intimates the agent mapping unit

to initiate a virtual agent to share the requested resource
handling from the server. After load has been distributed or
shared between the agents (mapped and temporary agent),
the resources is delivered to the user. Once the user port is
closed after reception, the temporary agent is diminished
by the mapping unit and an RSI (request status
information) is acknowledged back to the resource handler
unit.

The request handler on receiving the request from the

end user. The request handler creates fetching agent (bees)
for collecting data from the available resources. If the
requested resources is available with the local storage, then
the resources handler flow the resources to the request
handler and then to the end user. For accessing foreign
resources, the request handler on creating bees, requests the
agent unit for accessing foreign- resources. The agent unit
creates a resolver to handle the foreign resource access
requests. The foreign resource handler mapping unit
allocates the vm to the forwarded bees. The vm broadcasts
its active time (relieving time span) to the requesting bees.

An algorithm for load balancing in nimble peer-to-peer

system and adding together hybrid environments. In most
peer-to-peer system the non uniform of objects in the feel
and with the load of the node can be distorted continuously
due to the insertion, taking away and subsidiary various
operations. This will leads to fall the produce a
consequences of the system. So the concept of virtual
server can be introduced. The load hint of the peer nodes is
stored in inconsistent directories in this proposed load
balancing algorithm. These directories in the back to
schedule reassignment of the virtual servers to generate an
improved relation. Greedy heuristic algorithm used to
locate out a bigger resolved for the proper utilization of the
nodes.

Before the expiry time, the vm broadcasts its state to

the other agent in the network. If any agent wants to access
the same resource as the first request then the vm extends
its expiry time in order to service the further requests.
When the numbers of bees are maximum, then the vm
checks for the capacity of handling the bees and accepts the
following requests. The same condition is checked for the
inferring servers to handle the load ubiquitously without
creating congestion. This result in seamless connectivity
keeping the link uptime constant. The vm resources after
further services can extent/shrink its expiry time based on
the availability of request. Through this, the bandwidth
wastage is minimized by constantly maintaining the
utilization of the links.

The huge number of virtual servers in the system helps

to gathering the utilization. The various load counsel in to
the corresponding pool and with the virtual server
assignments are to be finished. This proposed algorithm
should be applied to every second types of resources
associated to storage, bandwidth etc, It was intended to
handle the various situations in imitation of changing load
of the node, node adroitness, entering and leaving of nodes
and in addition to insertion and elimination of the nodes.
Advantages are high node utilization and increasing
scalability [6].
III.

SYSTEM CONCEPT

Other than LB, in order to minimize the traffic

concentration at one particular server, the virtual agents are
held at each port of the request. The probe information and
traffic concentration are updated to the Agent Mapping
Unit. When the traffic concentration of a server exceeds its
saturated handling capacity, the ported virtual agent is
initiated to receive the information based on sharing. The
virtual machine after completing the resource allocation,
usually releases the connection. Here, we make an

A. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The system architecture consists of many blocks which
are used for individual purpose. First of all the end user
sends some request, the request handler receives this
request and it will send the request to the agent actuator. In
this agent actuator there are two main components they are
Agent Pool and Service Mapping. It also has the
components such as local resource that are used for
fetching the resources that are needed by the end user.
Then comes the local balancer, it balance the load that are
going it fetches the data from the data base with the time
constraints with the help of time scheduler. Task object
send and receive the request from work station and
resources allocator. The resource allocator collects the
resources and other things that the request is in need from
the database, vm tail, global or de-centralized blocks.
The Agent pool comprises of the following functions they
are agent creation and service agent. Once the agent is
created it will send the request in the form of services, this

is handled by service agent. Allocation takes place and

then the task agent specifies the task that agent has to do
base on the pdf value and then it is received by request
handler from task agent. After the process are over then
status of the agent is displayed which is used for the
fetching or using this agent without the time delay. Once it
reaches the request handler then it is send to the task
object.

the service request is made available to continue the

process. If the resource handler is not available then it
should request for a vm the data center fetch it to the local
vm handler. Then it will check whether the resource is
sufficient is yes then vm is shared to the global resource
and get the time slot for the best time of execution request
then it is mapped to its corresponding agent. On the other
hand after the request is mapped to the resources along
with the service handler. If the request is serviced then it
will release the process and also the resource of that agent.
Then reallocation is done after that the process is again
continued for the other request.

Once the request received to the task object, it

automatically fetches the resources that are asked for the
resource. Then the loads are balanced by means of
creation of n number of agents to work with is based on
the input request. With respect to pdf value the agent is
allocated to the end user. In the task object the agent
allocation process is done along with the load balancing.
B. FLOWCHART
The flowchart for the proposed system is based on the
work flow of the process. The first step is to receive the
request from the end user then the agent is allocated if the
agent is busy it will wait for the acknowledgement from
the data center otherwise the process handler assign the
request to the resources handler. When the resources
handler is available then it will map to the resource then

CONCLUSION

The tasks are to be sending to the under loaded machine

and like foraging bee the next tasks are also sent to that
virtual machine till the machine gets overloaded as flower
patches exploitation is done by scout bees. Honey bee
behavior inspired load balancing improves the overall
throughput of processing and priority based balancing
focuses on reducing the amount of time a task has to wait
on a queue of the VM. Thus, it reduces the response of
time of VMs. We have compared our proposed algorithm
with other existing techniques. Results show that our
algorithm stands good without increasing additional
overheads.
