Summary:The rise of cloud computing has been driven by the benefits, the cheapest purveyor of application hosting, storage, infrastructure, huge cost savings with low initial investment, elasticity and scalability, ease of adoption, operational efficiency, on-demand resources, and the use of equipment that is largely abstracted from the user and enterprise and how the virtualization has changed the foundation of computing. In other terms the virtualization is the process that turns the hardware bound entity in to software based component and the end result comes in to the form of VM. Current virtualization software supports transparent VM migration between physical servers on the same LAN but WAN migration remains a challenge due to the need for network reconfiguration and storage migration. With this paper our main concern is to present the virtual machine portability (VMP) is one of the most important futuristic aspects of Virtual machine migration, the term VMP requires that cloud customers can keep their VM including the prefix-when migrate from one cloud services provider to another avoiding the costs of switching to new VM configuration.
