Enhancing Performance and Energy Efficiency for Hybrid Workloads in Virtualized Cloud Environment
Abstract
Rapid growth in the demand for computational power through scientific, business and web applications has led to the creation of large-scale data centers consuming enormous amounts of electrical power. We propose an Enhancing Performance and Energy Efficiency for Hybrid Workloads in Virtualized Cloud Environment centers that reduces operating costs and requires quality of service (QoS) pro-vides. Energy savings are achieved by continuous consolidation of VMs based on current resource utilization, virtual network topologies established between VMs and thermal state of computing nodes.
Introduction
Enhancing Performance and Energy Efficiency for Hybrid Workloads in Virtualized Cloud Environment Modern resource-intensive enterprise and scientific applications create growing demand for high-performance computing infrastructures. This has led to the construction of large computing data centers consuming huge amounts of electrical power. Despite the improvements in the hardware’s energy efficiency, the overall energy con-sumption continues to grow due to increasing requirements for computing resources.
