Host Selection Technique for Data Intensive Application in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a combination of parallel computing and distributed computing which is highly scalable. Cloud Computing distributes the computational tasks on the resource pool which consists of massive computers so that the service consumer can gain maximum computation strength, more storage space and software services for its application according to its need. In cloud environment we can find data intensive and compute intensive applications. In data intensive application huge amount of data moves from cloud service consumer to host in the cloud and host to cloud service consumer. Based on the above two considerations, how to select best host for getting resources and creating a virtual machine(VM) to execute applications so that execution becomes more efficient and access cost becomes low as far as possible simultaneously is a challenging task. In this paper, a host selection technique is proposed for data intensive application. The objective here is to minimize overall execution time of the application with the help of which we can get better performance.
