 Energy-Efficient Hybrid Framework for Green Cloud Computing

Abstract

The increasing growth in the demand for cloud computing services, due to the
increasing digital transformation and the high elasticity of the cloud, requires more
efforts to improve the electrical energy efficiency of cloud data centers. In this paper, an
energy-efficient hybrid (EEH) framework for improving the efficiency of consuming
electrical energy in data centers is proposed and evaluated. The proposed framework is
based on both the request scheduling and servers consolidation approaches rather than
depending only on one approach as in the existing related works. The EEH framework
sorts the customers' requests (tasks) according to their time and power needs before
performing the scheduling. It has a scheduling algorithm that considers power
consumption when taking its scheduling decisions. It also has a consolidation algorithm
that determines the underloaded servers to be slept or hibernated, the overloaded
servers, the virtual machines to be migrated and the servers that will receive migrated
virtual machines. In addition, the EEH framework includes a migration algorithm for
transferring migrated virtual machines to new servers. Results of simulation
experiments indicate the superiority of the EEH framework to the utilization of one
approach only to reduce power consumption in terms of power usage effectiveness
(PUE), data center energy productivity (DCEP), average execution time, throughput and
cost saving.
