Abstract
In this paper, we propose and evaluate a server consolidation approach for efficient power management in virtualized federated Data Centers. The main goal of our approach is to reduce power consumption, trying to meet QoS requirements with limited energy defined by a third party agent. In our model, we address application workload considering the costs due to turning servers on/off and Virtual Machine migrations in same Data Center and between different Data Centers. Our simulation results with 2 data centers and 400 simultaneous Virtual Machines show that our approach is able to reduce more than 50% of energy consumption, while still meeting the QoS requirements.
