February 8-11, 2016.Nowadays computational needs increase exponentially every year. We analyze, calculate and process large data sets every day and the "traditional" servers do not meet these computational criteria. As a result cloud computing was "invented" offering multiple resources at an affordable cost. Besides that, Cloud Computing supports scalability, fault tolerance and high availability [2] [16]. Our goal is to delve deeper into Cloud Computing to be able to carry out independent research to study and improve the state of the art load balancing techniques.4application/pdfengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españaconference paperInformáticaopen access2124Proceedings of the First PhD Symposium on Sustainable UltrascaleComputing Systems (NESUS PhD 2016)
