Abstract

Virtualization technology is being used more recently in order to improve the balance between the performance of a server and its energy consumption. The use of a virtual machine also has many benefits regarding distribution of the resources, and energy aware consolidation scalability, and powerful solutions for data backup and recovery. Server consolidation is one of the ways to reduce the energy consumed in data centers between hardware and software features. During consolidation we should consider some parameters of the servers such as performance, the relation between the CPU and I/O equipments etc. VM allocation and placement are the main issues in consolidation. The work that we have done is that we have rearranging the allocation in a way that saves energy. Finally the simulation and live demonstration results are conspired. The simulation results show the efficiency of this method.
