Cloud infrastructure Resources hosted in Data Centers, support the effective execution of Cloud computing applications. Given the increased adoption of the Cloud Computing Applications and the Businesses getting to be Data-driven, there is a huge increase in the number of Data Centers and the Size and amount of resources hosted in these Data Centers. These Data Center resources consume a significant amount of energy and this continuous scaling of the resources is leading to increased power consumption and a large carbon footprint. Given our fragile eco-system, optimization of the Data Center resources for energy conservation and thus the carbon footprint is the primary area of our focus. Businesses also need to satisfy QoS guarantees on Availability to their customers. Optimization towards Energy efficiencies may compromise on the Availability and thus may warrant a trade-off, and a need for them to be considered together. Although there have been numerous studies towards Energy efficiencies, most of them have been focused on only energy. In this paper, we initially segregate Optimization activities towards the Data Center resources like Compute, Network, and Storage. We then study the different control parameters or approaches which will lead to meeting the objectives of Energy Efficiencies, Availability and Energy Efficiency constrained with Availability. Thus, this will support the selection of approaches for the optimization of energy while meeting the QoS Availability requirement.

Cloud computing is a well-known technology that provides flexible, efficient, and cost-effective information technology solutions for multinationals to offer improved and enhanced quality of business services to end-users. The cloud computing paradigm is instigated from grid and parallel computing models as it uses virtualization, server consolidation, utility computing, and other computing technologies and models for providing better information technology solutions for large-scale computational data centers. The recent intensifying computational demands from multinationals enterprises have motivated the magnification for large complicated cloud data centers to handle business, monetary, Internet, and commercial applications of different enterprises. A cloud data center encompasses thousands of millions of physical server machines arranged in racks along with network, storage, and other equipment that entails an extensive amount of power to process different processes and amenities required by business firms to run their business applications. This data center infrastructure leads to different challenges like enormous power consumption, underutilization of installed equipment especially physical server machines, CO2 emission causing global warming, and so on. In this article, we highlight the data center issues in the context of Pakistan where the data center industry is facing huge power deficits and shortcomings to fulfill the power demands to provide data and operational services to business enterprises. The research investigates these challenges and provides solutions to reduce the number of installed physical server machines and their related device equipment. In this article, we proposed server consolidation technique to increase the utilization of already existing server machines and their workloads by migrating them to virtual server machines to implement green energy-efficient cloud data centers. To achieve this objective, we also introduced a novel Virtualized Task Scheduling Algorithm to manage and properly distribute the physical server machine workloads onto virtual server machines. The results are generated from a case study performed in Pakistan where the proposed server consolidation technique and virtualized task scheduling algorithm are applied on a tier-level data center. The results obtained from the case study demonstrate that there are annual power savings of 23,600 W and overall cost savings of US$78,362. The results also highlight that the utilization ratio of already existing physical server machines has increased to 30% compared to 10%, whereas the number of server machines has reduced to 50% contributing enormously toward huge power savings.

Proliferation of large number of cloud users steered the exponential increase in number and size of the data centers. These data centers are energy hungry and put burden for cloud service provider in terms of electricity bills. There is environmental concern too, due to large carbon foot print. A lot of work has been done on reducing the energy requirement of data centers using optimal use of CPUs. Virtualization has been used as the core technology for optimal use of computing resources using VM migration. However, networking devices also contribute significantly to the responsible for the energy dissipation. We have proposed a two level energy optimization method for the data center to reduce energy consumption by keeping SLA. VM migration has been performed for optimal use of physical machines as well as switches used to connect physical machines in data center. Results of experiments conducted in CloudSim on PlanetLab data confirm superiority of the proposed method over existing methods using only single level optimization.

The flourishing development of the cloud computing paradigm provides several services in the industrial business world. Power consumption by cloud data centers is one of the crucial issues for service providers in the domain of cloud computing. Pursuant to the rapid technology enhancements in cloud environments and data centers augmentations, power utilization in data centers is expected to grow unabated. A diverse set of numerous connected devices, engaged with the ubiquitous cloud, results in unprecedented power utilization by the data centers, accompanied by increased carbon footprints. Nearly a million physical machines (PM) are running all over the data centers, along with (5 – 6) million virtual machines (VM). In the next five years, the power needs of this domain are expected to spiral up to 5% of global power production. The virtual machine power consumption reduction impacts the diminishing of the PM’s power, however further changing in power consumption of data center year by year, to aid the cloud vendors using prediction methods. The sudden fluctuation in power utilization will cause power outage in the cloud data centers. This paper aims to forecast the VM power consumption with the help of regressive predictive analysis, one of the Machine Learning (ML) techniques. The potency of this approach to make better predictions of future value, using Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) regressor which provides 91% of accuracy during the prediction process.

Novel Technique

Cloud computing brings incipient transmutations in different fields of life and consists of different characteristics and virtualization is one of them. Virtual machine (VM) is one of the main elements of virtualization. VM is a process in which physical server changes into the virtual machine and works as a physical server. When a user sends data or request for data in cloud data center, a situation can occur that may cause the virtual machines to underload data or overload data. The aforementioned situation can lead to failure of the system or delay the user task. Therefore, appropriate load balancing techniques are required to surmount the above two mentioned problems. Load balancing is a technique utilized in cloud computing for management of the resource by a condition such that a maximum throughput is achieved with slightest reaction time and additionally dividing the traffic between different servers or VM so that it can get data without any delay. For the amelioration of load balancing technique in this study, a novel technique is used which is coalescence of BAT and ABC algorithms both of which are nature-inspired algorithms. When the ABC algorithm local search section changes with BAT algorithm local search section, a second modification takes place in the fitness function of BAT algorithm. The proposed technique is known as HBATAABC algorithm. The novel technique implemented by utilizing transfer strategy policy in VM improves the performance of data allocation system of VM in the cloud data center. To check the performance of the proposed algorithm, three main parameters are used which are network average time, network stability and throughput. The performance of the proposed novel technique is verified and tested with the help of cloudsim simulator. The result shows that the suggested modified algorithm increases performance by 1.30% of network average time, network stability and throughput as compared with BAT algorithm, ABC algorithm and RRA algorithm. Nevertheless, the proposed algorithm is more precise and expeditious as compared with the three models.
