Abstract

A recent fast growing development and demand in high performance computing has brought IT technocrats on forefeet to devise energy aware mechanisms so that CO2 emission can be reduced to a great extent. The resources in cloud data centers are always over provisioned in order to meet the peak workload. These resources consume a huge amount of energy, if used in their full capacity. By dynamically adopting the green computing policies as per current workload, the energy consumption of cloud data center can be reduced. In the present study, VM migration process has been discussed and the simulation driven results for evaluation of the proposed heuristic on the basis of static upper and lower limits allowed for CPU utilization have been presented. The comparative analysis of resource utilization and power consumption of a data center, with and without migration policy, reveals that a significant amount of power consumption can be reduced by VM migration and utilization of resources can be optimized.
