Life cycle of KPIs in Cloud Networks

Abstract

Key Performance Indicators are the benchmarks for measuring the health of a given network like Performance, Availability and Resiliency, etc. The Virtualization and Cloud computing transformed how the network operates and delivers services. This led to a new paradigm shift in how we measure the KPIs of Cloud Networks. The KPI management is a big challenge for cloud service providers. This paper describes KPI management for Cloud Networks through the Life cycle of KPI. The KPI Life cycle contains the systematic procedure for KPI Identification, Monitoring, Storage, Visualization and Analysis.
