Abstract

Increasing demand for acquiring diverse range of services has led to the establishment of huge energy hungry cloud data centers all around the world. Cloud providers face with major concerns to reduce their energy consumption while ensuring high quality of service based on the Service Level Agreement (SLA). Consolidation is proposed as one of the most effective techniques for online energy saving in cloud environments with dynamic workloads. This paper proposes novel proactive online resource management policies to optimize energy, SLA, and number of migrations in cloud data centers. More precisely, this paper proposes new prediction algorithm for determination of overloaded hosts as well as novel multi-criteria decision making techniques to select virtual machines. The results of simulations using CloudSim simulator shows up to 98.11 % reduction in the output metric which is representative of energy consumption, SLA violation, and number of migrations, in comparison with state of the art.
