Cloud Data Centers

Cloud computing is a growing technology now-a-days, which provides various resources to perform complex tasks. These complex tasks can be performed with the help of datacenters. Data centers helps the incoming tasks by providing various resources like CPU, storage, network, bandwidth and memory, which has resulted in the increase of the total number of datacenters in the world. These data centers consume large volume of energy for performing the operations and which leads to high operation costs. Resources are the key cause for the power consumption in data centers along with the air and cooling systems. Energy consumption in data centers is comparative to the resource usage. Excessive amount of energy consumption by datacenters falls out in large power bills. There is a necessity to increase the energy efficiency of such data centers. We have proposed an Energy aware dynamic virtual machine consolidation (EADVMC) model which focuses on pm selection, vm selection, vm placement phases, which results in the reduced energy consumption and the Quality of service (QoS) to a considerable level.

Detecting Method

Reducing energy consumption of data centers is an important way for cloud providers to improve their investment yield, but they must also ensure that the services delivered meet the various requirements of consumers. In this paper, we propose a resource management strategy to reduce both energy consumption and Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations in cloud data centers. It contains three improved methods for subproblems in dynamic virtual machine (VM) consolidation. For making hosts detection more effective and improving the VM selection results, first, the overloaded hosts detecting method sets a dynamic independent saturation threshold for each host, respectively, which takes the CPU utilization trend into consideration; second, the underutilized hosts detecting method uses multiple factors besides CPU utilization and the Naive Bayesian classifier to calculate the combined weights of hosts in prioritization step; and third, the VM selection method considers both current CPU usage and future growth space of CPU demand of VMs. To evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy, it is simulated in CloudSim and compared with five existing energy–saving strategies using real-world workload traces. The experimental results show that our strategy outperforms others with minimum energy consumption and SLA violation.

High-energy consumption in data centers has become a critical issue. The dynamic server consolidation has significant effects on saving energy of a data center. An effective way to consolidate virtual machines is to migrate virtual machines in real time so that some light load physical machines can be turned off or switched to low-power mode. The present challenge is to reduce the energy consumption of cloud data centers. In this paper, for the first time, a server consolidation algorithm based on the culture multiple-ant-colony algorithm was proposed for dynamic execution of virtual machine migration, thus reducing the energy consumption of cloud data centers. The server consolidation algorithm based on the culture multiple-ant-colony algorithm (CMACA) finds an approximate optimal solution through a specific target function. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm not only reduces the energy consumption but also reduces the number of virtual machine migration.
