Enhancing Fault Tolerance using Load Allocation Technique during Virtualization in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing, the pinnacle of today's technology, has seen a growth tremendously in the past few years due to its demand all over the world. Virtualization is helping cloud computing to rule the world. But, with its growing importance the issues related to faults in virtualization has become the crux of the situation. It is a known fact that cloud computing completely functions on the concept of assigning virtual space to the applications in need. But the whole purpose of it gets beaten when there is any kind of a fault in the virtual machines. This is a vital issue that has to be handled. The proposed technique `load allocation' is the ideology very similar to load balancing feature which works in balancing the load in different virtual machines. This paper aims in using a concept called as Liquid Galaxy, an open source initiative which tries to simulate Google Earth and other software using multiple virtual machines.
