Study and Comparison of CloudSim Simulators in the Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is a hot topic all over the world nowadays, through which customers can access information and computer power via a web browser. As the adoption and deployment of cloud computing increase, it is critical to evaluate the performance of cloud environments. Modeling and simulation technologies are suitable for evaluating performance and security issues. Cloud simulators are required for cloud system testing to decrease the complexity and separate quality concerns. Several cloud simulators have been specifically developed for performance analysis of cloud computing environments and CloudSim is a one of them Cloud simulation application. CloudSim enables seamless modeling, simulation, and experimentation of cloud computing and application services. This paper first defines CloudSim and then explores it’s all variants available in CloudSim such as CloudAnalyst, GreenCloud, Network CloudSim, EMUSIM and MDCSim. In the last, it Compares all CloudSim Variant with respect to networking, platform and language.
