The paper focuses on dynamic resource provisioning which minimizes carbon footprint of data centers interconnected via optical networks. The main contribution of this paper is a schema of fitting energy aware anycast strategies to different types of cloud services in order to reduce greenhouse gases emission. The proposed schema was compared to the cases when all types of cloud services were handled using the same anycast strategy. It is shown that the proposed schema is able to significantly reduce greenhouse gases emission without significant deterioration of network performance.
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.
