  Cloud environment is very different from traditional computing environment
and therefore tracking the performance of cloud leverages additional
requirements. The movement of data in cloud is very fast. Hence, it requires
that resources and infrastructure available at disposal must be equally
competent. Infrastructure level performance in cloud involves the performance
of servers, network and storage which act as the heart and soul for driving the
entire cloud business. Thus a constant improvement and enhancement of
infrastructure level performance is an important task that needs to be taken
into account. This paper proposes a framework for infrastructure performance
enhancement in a cloud based environment. The framework is broadly divided into
four steps: a) Infrastructure level monitoring of usage pattern and behaviour
of the cloud end users, b) Reporting of the monitoring activities to the cloud
service provider c) Cloud service provider assigns priority according to our
decision matrix based max-min algorithm (DMMM) d) Providing services to cloud
users leading to infrastructure performance enhancement. Our framework is based
on decision matrix and monitoring in cloud using our proposed decision matrix
based max-min algorithm, which draws its inspiration from the original min-min
algorithm. This algorithm makes use of decision matrix to make decisions
regarding distribution of resources among the cloud users.
