A New Dynamic Threshold Based Energy Saver Resource Allocation method for Cloud Infrastructure

Abstract

High demand for cloud computing resources has given rise to the enormous size of cloud data centers. Consequently, the energy demand for cloud resources has increased. This is high time to put a check on energy consumption to make cloud computing more profitable for the cloud service provider and to defend the environment from carbon footprint. In this paper, a method has been proposed to allocate the resources to the coming tasks in an energy efficient manner. The proposed method of host selection for VM consolidation is successful in the reduction of energy consumption and maintaining the SLA violations low.
