A Literature Review: Efficient Vm Migration Techniques for Energy Reduction in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Broadly speaking cloud computing is nothing but a highly 'utilitarian' orientation of IT services where users benefited on a pay-as-you go basis. In a way it enables the hosting of pervasive applications from consumer, scientific and business domain. We expect all electronic gadgetry to be 'energy efficient' to possibly achievable limits. So our data centers hosting cloud application must be cost effective and the same time should avoid undue burden of carbon footprint. While excising economy on power consumption by (data center) outmost care needs to be taken so that it never at the cost services provided to end user i.e. SLA violation must be kept as low as possible. Virtualization technology is one of the key features in cloud data centers that can improve the efficiency of hardware utilization through resource sharing, migration, and consolidation of workloads. In this paper we shall cover VM Migration Algorithms for energy reduction in cloud computing along with other novel techniques.

Study of Energy Efficient Algorithms for Cloud Computing based on Virtual Machine Migration Techniques

“…Due to highly competitive environment in this sector each and every service provider wants to satisfy their customers with a highly optimized service having 24 x 7 service availability, high storage, optimized level of multi tenancy and virtualization etc. But while meeting the QoS factors without any compromise, most of the cloud providers have to invest a lot in terms of power consumption in data centers also [2][3][4]. An idle server consumes 70% of the peak power [11] and hence leads to major energy efficiency .…”

“…Some researchers (Banerjee A. et. Al ,2013) have proposed energy efficient models [3] . Some problems have been solved by linear regression method or other statistical methods , others have preferred working on hardware level .…”

“…Singh N &Dhir V.(2017) have conducted a survey on several VM Migration techniques which can be helpful to get a clear view about the present trend and future direction of energy efficient cloud algorithms[3].This has created a pathway for the cloud researchers in this arena.One feasible solution for VM Migration technique has been proposed by Patel V &Bheda H.(May, 2014) by using DVFS technique for making energy efficiency for real time data in cloud data centers. The authors have introduced the hardware based Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) concept for live VM migration.…”
