Table 6 Comparison of Replication based VM migration approaches

From: A critical survey of live virtual machine migration techniques

Performance metrics

Hypervisor /Simulator

Celesti et al. [93]-2010

Focus on the dynamic VM allocation

VM disk-image relocation, described using CIC methodology

Data transferred amount considerably reduces if the number of migrations increases

KVM

Kumar Bose et al. [94]-2011

Large size VM is migrated over WAN with low bandwidth

Combine VM replication with VM scheduling and use deduplication techniques

Minimize the migration latencies

CloudSim

Kumar Bose et al. [95]-2011

Migration of virtual disk file at run time within acceptable time over WAN

Combining VM scheduling with replication strategies

Minimize the migration time across WAN networks
