Improving the Energy Efficiency in Cloud Computing Data Centres Through Resource Allocation Techniques

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Research Advances in Cloud Computing

Abstract

The growth of power consumption in Cloud Computing systems is one of the current concerns of systems designers. In previous years, several studies have been carried out in order to find new techniques to decrease the cloud power consumption. These techniques range from decisions on locations for data centres to techniques that enable efficient resource management. Resource Allocation, as a process of Resource Management, assigns available resources throughout the data centre in an efficient manner, minimizing the power consumption and maximizing the system performance. The contribution presented in this chapter is an overview of the Resource Management and Resource Allocation techniques, which contribute to the reduction of energy consumption without compromising the cloud user and provider constraints. We will present key concepts regarding energy consumption optimization in cloud data centres. Moreover, two practical cases are presented to illustrate the theoretical concepts of Resource Allocation. Finally, we discuss the open challenges that Resource Management must face in the coming years.
