Caee: Communication-Aware, Energy-Efficient Vm Placement Model For Multi-Tier Applications In Large Scale Cloud Data Centers, Soha Rawas, Ahmed Zekri

BAU Journal - Science and Technology

the increasing demand for cloud computing services has led to the adoption of large-scale cloud data centers (DCs) to meet the user’s requirements. Efficiency and managing of such DCs have become a challenging problem. Consequently, energy-efficient solutions to optimize the whole DC energy consumption, optimize the application’s performance and reduce the cloud provider operational cost are crucial and needed. This paper addressed the problem of Virtual Machines (VMs) placement of multi-tier applications to maximize the compute resources utilization, minimize energy consumption, and reduce network traffic inside modern large-scale cloud DCs. The VM placement problem with communication dependencies among the VMs …
