A SURVEY ON COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF HORIZONTAL SCALING AND VERTICAL SCALING OF CLOUD COMPUTING RESOURCES

Cloud computing basically works on the model of “renting” resources. The cloud data centers provides the facility of purchase or renting resources. It can allocate resources such as disk storage, memory, network bandwidth, or processing time. If the client/user is on large scale organization it requires to run multiple servers. So it will face the problem of managing user traffic. So on demand scaling of resources is needed. In this paper two types of scaling, horizontal scaling and vertical scaling is discussed. This paper also describes the comparative analysis of both the types of Scaling.
