INTRODUCTION
Modern datacenters that operate under the cloud
computing model are hosting a variety of applications.
Datacenters are not only expensive to maintain, they are
also unfriendly to the environment.
To address these concerns, leading IT vendors have recently
formed a global consortium, called The Green Grid, to
promote energy efficiency for datacenters and minimize
their impact on the environment.
• Green cloud computing is envisioned to achieve not only
efficient processing and utilization of computing
infrastructure but also minimize energy consumption.
• A high-level architecture for supporting energy-efficient
resource allocation in a green cloud computing infrastructure
is shown in Figure 11.2. It consists of four main components:
1. Consumers/brokers: Cloud consumers or their brokers
submit service requests from anywhere in the world to the
cloud.
2. Green Resource Allocator: Acts as the interface between the
cloud infrastructure and consumers.
3. VMs: Multiple VMs can be dynamically started and stopped on
a single physical machine to meet accepted requests, hence
providing maximum flexibility to configure various partitions of
resources.
4. Physical machines: The underlying physical computing servers
provide hardware infrastructure for creating virtualized
resources to meet service demands.
ENERGY-AWARE DYNAMIC
RESOURCE ALLOCATION
Virtualization enables dynamic migration of VMs across
physical nodes.
Unused VMs can be logically resized and consolidated on a
minimal number of physical nodes, while idle nodes can be
turned off (or hibernated).
Through consolidation of VMs, large numbers of users can
share a single physical server, which increases utilization
and in turn reduces the total number of servers required.
• Currently, resource allocation in a cloud datacenter aims at providing
high performance while meeting SLAs, with limited or no
consideration for energy consumption during VM allocations.
• The current approaches to dynamic VM consolidation are weak in
terms of providing performance guarantees.
• One of the ways to prove performance bounds is to divide the
problem of energy-efficient dynamic VM consolidation into a few
subproblems that can be analysed individually.
• It is important to analytically model the problem and derive
optimal and near optimal approximation algorithms that
provide provable efficiency.
INTERCLOUDS AND INTEGRATED
ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES
Intercloud is a network of clouds that are linked with each
other.
For example, Amazon EC2 Cloud services are available via
Amazon datacenters located in the United States, Europe,
and Singapore.
These Interclouds provide a powerful means of reducing
energy related costs.
• One reason is that the local demand for electricity varies with
time of day and weather. This causes time-varying differences
in the price of electricity at each location.
• Moreover, each site has a different source of energy (such as
coal, hydroelectric, or wind), with different environmental
costs.
• This gives scope to adjust the load sent to each location, and
the number of servers powered on at each location, to improve
efficiency.
DISADVANTAGES
Implementation Cost is High: The initial investment to
adopt green computing processing may seem costly for
medium-sized and small enterprises. We can say that green
computing is yet not so reasonable to everybody.
Advancing Technology will be challenging to Adapt to:
Green cloud computing technology keeps evolving, so it is
somewhat difficult for everybody to adapt to instantly.
Green Computers might be Underpowered: As the point is
to save energy, the computer applications that require high
power to perform would be badly impacted by green
computing.
CONCLUSION
• The management of power consumption in data centers
has led to a number of substantial improvements in energy
efficiency.
• Cloud computing infrastructure is housed in data centers
and has benefited significantly from these advances.
• Techniques such as sleep scheduling and virtualization of
computing resources in cloud computing data centers
improve the energy efficiency of cloud computing.
