Data Center Clustering for Geographically Distributed Cloud Deployments

Geographically-distributed application deployments are critical for a variety of cloud applications, such as those employed in the Internet-of-Things (IoT), edge computing, and multimedia. However, selecting appropriate cloud data centers for the applications, from a large number available locations, is a difficult task. The users need to consider several different aspects in the data center selection, such as inter-data center network performance, data transfer costs, and the application requirements with respect to the network performance.
