Abstract: In the New era of cloud computing and service based market monitoring state of a system or an application is necessary to get maximum benefit of the power of a system. Monitoring state of system means continuous checking the over-all functionality under various permutations and combinations of load considering all the factors that can harm performance of system. Monitoring can be provided as a service to clients through cloud computing. This will be beneficial for both the client and the providers as client will be aware of the over-all performance of system and which may help consumers to visualize further needs of improvement and providers may get an option for increasing revenues as well as their system knowledge. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use application without installation and access their personal files at any computer with internet access. Speed up the calculations and processes. Provide multi tenancy features. Cloud Computing is a Computing in which services and software are provided over the Internet (“cloud”) which is very cheap and affordable. Cloud computing is on demand access to virtualized IT resources that are housed outside of your own data centre, shared by other simple to use, paid for via monthly subscription which is very low in cost, and accessed over the web with many features in it. Monitoring as a Service is a business model in which a large company rents space in their storage infrastructure to another company or individual. The key advantage to Cloud setup in the enterprise is in cost savings — in personnel, in hardware and in physical storage space. The Cloud provider agrees to rent storage space on a cost-per-gigabyte-stored and cost-per-data-transfer basis and the company’s data would be automatically transferred at the specified time over the storage provider’s proprietary wide area network (WAN) or the Internet. If the company’s data ever became corrupt or got lost, the network administrator could contact the cloud service provider and request a copy of the data.
