Fractional social optimization-based migration and replica management algorithm for load balancing in distributed...

Effective management of data is a major issue in Distributed File System (DFS), like the cloud. This issue is handled by replicating files in an effective manner, which can minimize the time of data access and elevate the data availability. This paper devises a Fractional Social Optimization Algorithm (FSOA) for replica management along with balancing load in DFS in the cloud stage. Balancing the workload for DFS is the main objective. Here, the chunk creation is done by partitioning the file into a different number of chunks considering Deep Fuzzy Clustering (DFC) and then in the round-robin manner the Virtual machine (VM) is assigned. In that case for balancing the load considering certain objectives like resource use, energy consumption and migration cost thereby the load balancing is performed with the proposed FSOA. Here, the FSOA is formulated by uniting the Social optimization algorithm (SOA) and Fractional Calculus (FC). The replica management is done in DFS using the proposed FSOA by considering the various objectives. The FSOA has the smallest load of 0.299, smallest cost of 0.395, smallest energy consumption of 0.510, smallest overhead of 0.358, and smallest throughput of 0.537.
