Abstract

With the advent of cloud computing and rapid integration of different architectures to form hybrid systems, the need for creation of virtual machines with the existing system is essential, to process voluminous data for a wide variety of application sets, and provide optimal solutions to their clients. This paper presents a framework for providing optimal utilization of resources through a hypervisor technique. This framework helps to reduce downtime of resources and improve machine utilization. The framework creates more than one virtual machine on a single physical machine. The performance of the partitioned machine is being examined using various signature cryptographic hash algorithms. Results show that the proposed framework is efficient and secure. The technique brings in reduced computation and supports better scalability of the virtual machines in bare metal.
