Abstract

Cloud computing is an emerging technology, advancing quickly in IT due to the flexibility of using computing without buying any infrastructure but by using as pay-per-use model. It is risky to evaluate the performance of cloud environments as cloud computing adoption increases. The simulation technology has become a powerful tool in cloud computing research community to address these issues. Various cloud simulators have been precisely developed for testing and performance analysis of cloud computing environments. This paper presents a study, analysis and comparison of various existing cloud simulation tools.
