  • Cloud computing is being considered as the future architecture of IT world. Virtualization creates logical resources from physical resources which are allocated with flexibility to applications. Server virtualization is a technique for the division of the physical machine into many Virtual Machines; every Virtual Machine has the capacity of applications execution similar to physical machine. The capability of Virtual Machine migration i.e. dynamic movement of Virtual Machines between physical machines is achieved by virtualization. Migration techniques differ w.r.t order of state transfer. Pre-copy migration method transfers all pages of memory from source to destination while Virtual Machine is executing on source. Post-copy migration is transfer of memory. content after the transfer of process state. Specially, post-copy migration, first copied the process states to the destination machine. Total time of migration, Total pages transferred and Downtime are important parameters considered during live Virtual Machine migration. Many improved live pre copy Virtual Machine migration techniques tries to decrease all the three above mentioned parameters. Proposed approach also tries to minimize all the three performance parameters.
