An Evaluation of Load Balancing between Server Platforms inside a Data Center

Abstract

The overview of principles of network load balancing between server platforms in a data center network is given in the work. The data center model in term of Infrastructure-asa-Service is proposed in the work. The CPU utilization of server platforms and throughput capability which depended from the amount of servers is suggested to use as a main performance characteristics. The evaluation model of data center network and the formulas for CPU and throughput evaluation are also suggested in the work. The analysis of load balancing between server platforms was performed according to the proposed formulas in case of use a clustering.
