Migration of virtual machine is one of the most important features in virtual machine technology .It involves moving a VM from a physical host to another, facilitating balancing load, utilization of resource and reducing energy consumption. The goal of this paper is to present a survey of the main types of virtual machine live migration, their classifications and a comparative study of these techniques in a particular class. It also discusses the algorithms used in virtual machine migration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
