Abstract:
Virtualization enabled cloud computing management is an unstructured activity. Although the technical performance and virtualization/cloud utilization measurements using formula timing, simulation or other quantitative techniques are highly structured, the economic evaluation of virtualization enabled cloud computing management is an unstructured activity. Advances in computing specially in Internet technologies given reasons to adopt virtualization and cloud computing to meet the corporate demand for computing over internet that is growing exponentially over the past decade. The primary thesis of the
paper is that system dynamics is an appropriate virtualization enabled cloud computing management tool when the problematic behavior being addressed by the computing requirements may be
arising from feedback structure. Motivation for modeling Virtualization enabled cloud computing management model creates learning environment that enables efficient and effective management of virtualization enabled cloud computing requirements in different planning time frames. The model can be simulated and analyzed for long term computing investments decisions for IT service integrators and service providers to deduce significant implication once the seed values are available for the performance drivers of the model. This research attempts to examine the impact of potential strategies surrounding virtualization enabled cloud computing management under changing conditions, and provide guidance for managerial decisions, using a systems dynamics approach.
