Effective Data Center Selection Algorithm for a Federated Cloud

Cloud computing becomes a key factor in the market day by day. It provides the services like infrastructure, platform and software as a service. Therefore, many companies are investing or going to invest in this sector for the development of the data center. These data centers are not only consuming more energy but also producing greenhouse gases. Data center providers are unable to establish data centers all over the world due to the financial limitation. In order to provide better Quality of Service (QoS) and maintain Service Level Agreement (SLA), infrastructure providers come together to provide services. In this federated cloud environment, whenever a new job come, then the central entity selects the data center to execute that job. Selection of the data center plays an important role in a federated cloud environment to improve the throughput as well as performance.
