Optimal resource management is required in a data center to allocate the resources to users in a balanced manner. Balanced resource allocation is one of the key challenges in the data center. The multi-dimensional resources of a data center must be allocated in a balanced manner in all the dimensions of physical machines. The unbalanced resource allocation leads to unused residual resource fragments. The unused residual resource fragments leads to resource wastage. If the multi-dimensional data center resources are allocated in a balanced manner, the resource wastage does not occur. Also, the balanced allocation improves the power consumption. The balanced resource allocation reduces the resource wastage as well as reduces the power consumption. In this paper, we have designed a Balanced Energy Efficient Multi-Core Aware Virtual Machine Placement algorithm (MCA-BEE-VMP) using multi-dimensional resource space partition model to balance the resources like CPU and memory and also to reduce the power consumption. We used Google Cloud Jobs (GoCJ) dataset for the simulation. In our simulation of MCA-BEE-VMP using Cloud Sim simulation tool we have achieved balanced CPU and memory resources allocation in two dimensions of a physical machine. The resource wastage and power consumption is improved and the simulation results were analyzed.
