High availability includes the combined reliability of components of all categories including network, computational, hardware and software components of all layers.
We introduce a framework to amend cloud simulators with critical HA features. We take GreenCloud, a major simulator with a direct focus on green computing, and implement these features as an additional measurement layer. We demonstrate these added features by simulating their impact on a phased communication application (PCA).
