As Network Function Virtualization (NFV) becomes reality and cloud computing offers a scalable pay-as-you-go charging model, more network operators would like to outsource their Service Function Chains (SFC) to the public clouds in order to reduce the operational cost. However, how to minimize the operational cost with Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee when outsourcing SFC is still an open problem...
This paper proposes a replication cost model and two greedy algorithms, named GS QoS and GS QoS C1, for replication placements in cloud-based storage systems. The model aims to minimize replication cost with full consideration of quality of user access to storage nodes. Our two algorithms employ a utility measurement to guide placement procedures. Our final experimental results show that 1) GS QoS...
Content distribution networks (CDNs) built on clouds have recently started to emerge. Compared to conventional CDNs, cloud-based CDNs have the benefit of cost efficient hosting services without owning infrastructure. However, resource provisioning and replica placement in cloud CDNs involve a number of challenging issues, mainly due to the dynamic nature of demand patterns. To deal with this dynamic...
With the advent of high bandwidth third-generation mobile networks and other wireless networks, grid computing has migrated from traditional parallel and distributed computing to pervasive and utility computing based on the wireless networks and mobile devices, which results in the emergence of a new computing paradigm named mobile grid. Data replication is widely used in mobile grid environments...
