Abstract

Businesses and individuals have seen the need to adopt the cloud and mulit-cloud environment for their businesses and storage of data. The load balancing concerns especially in the multi-cloud environment was investigated and a new algorithm proposed. In this research, a proposed new load balancing algorithm is presented and compared with the Round Robin (RR) and Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithms. The proposed scheduling algorithm considered several Cloud ERP Data chunks to analyse the data transmission rate or throughput, the transmission delay, data loss and the Cloud ERP Data drop ratio. The proposed algorithm performed better compared to the Round Robin (RR) and Weighted Round Robin (WRR) in a multi cloud environment with data chunks above 150 in terms of throughput. The proposed algorithm again outperformed the RR and WRR with a recorded lower transmission delays and lower data loss.
