This paper considers cluster systems of data centers containing a definite set of application servers, file servers, data storage systems, and an input-output system that are interconnected by a switching system and communication channels. The goal of research is to increase the efficiency of virtualized cluster systems using a new rational method to distribute virtual machines among the physical elements of data centers. This method is based on an iterative greedy algorithm and a limited enumeration procedure, which improve the performance of a virtualized system due to rational data management. A simulation model for the operation of a virtualized system is developed, and its experimental study is carried out. The approaches presented below determine the required number of cluster nodes in a virtualized system under an unpredictable load rate and an unpredictable level of resources requested by virtual machines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
