Cost-aware Workload Dispatching and Server Provisioning for Distributed Cloud Data Centers
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the demand on online services and cloud computing has kept increasing in recent years, the power usage and cost associated with cloud data centers’ operation have been uprising significantly. Most existing research focuses on reducing power consumption of data centers. However, the ultimate goal of cloud service operators is to reduce the total operating cost of data centers while guaranteeing the quality of service such as service delay to the end users. This paper exploits both the workload dispatching and the service provisioning to address the total electricity cost minimization problem. This problem is formulated as a hierarchical capacitated median model based on mixed integer linear programming (MILP) technique. Extensive evaluations based on real-life electricity price data for multiple data centers show the efficiency and efficacy of our approach.

Energy Aware Resource Management of Cloud Data Centers
Cloud Computing, the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way IT hardware is designed and purchased. Virtualization technology forms a key concept for new cloud computing architectures. The data centers are used to provide cloud services burdening a significant...
متن کاملKingfisher: A System for Elastic Cost-aware Provisioning in the Cloud
Cloud computing platforms allow application providers to rent server capacity to run hosted applications and to dynamically vary the rented capacity to match demand. Today’s cloud platforms offer a plethora of different server configurations for rent and price them differently on a cost-per-core basis. Furthermore, cloud platforms support different replication and migration mechanisms to suppor...
متن کاملEnergy aware scheduling across 'green' cloud data centres
Data centre energy costs are reduced when virtualisation is used as opposed to physical resource deployment to a volume sufficient to accommodate all application requests. Nonetheless, regardless of the resource provisioning approach, opportunities remain in the way in which they are made available and workload is scheduled. Cost incurred at a server is a function of its hardware characteristic...

The ever-increasing operational cost of geographically distributed datacenters has become a critical issue for cloud service providers. In order to cut the electricity cost of geographically distributed datacenters, several workload management schemes have been proposed, such as Electricity price-aware InteR-datacenter load balancing (EIR), which reduces the electricity cost of active servers b...

Cloud computing is characteristically distinct as a kind of computing that relies on distribution computing resources relatively than having restricted server or private device to switch applications. Cloud technology allows for the routine stipulation and denial of resource as and when it is essential, thus ensuring that the intensity of resource accessible is as strongly matched to current de...
