Impact of memory intensive applications on performance of cloud virtual machine

Cloud computing is a rising distributed computing paradigm that promises to offer cost effective, scalable, on demand services to users without the need for large investments in purchasing and managing the infrastructure. Cloud computing brings significant benefits for both service providers and users because of its characteristics. With virtualization - A key technology for cloud computing, service providers can ensure isolation of multiple user workloads, provision resources in cost effective manner i.e. low resource allocation at lower load and quickly scale up according to load conditions thus optimally utilizing resources.
