Abstract
As workloads increase in the industry so does the requirement for IT resources. IT companies are now shifting from in-house data centers to cloud-based IT services such as IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS which can offer flexibility at different levels to the developers of the applications working on different projects. Lots of researchers have contributed to migrating virtual machines migration from one cloud service provider to the other in case of backup as a service and other related services. Some of the previous works by some researchers focus on the migration of SAAS and PAAS onto different cloud service provider platforms. This research work focuses on the mitigation and migration of IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS services of the cloud. My contribution in this research will be in how to avoid loss of data during mitigation and migration of the VM from one Hypervisor environment to the other hypervisor environment on a physical machine infrastructure. This will help SME’s to provide end-user access to their data without worrying about the losses which may have incurred if the Mitigation process was not carried out carefully while migrating VM’s from one bare metal Hypervisor environment to the other bare metal Hypervisor environment.
