Environment, Services and Network Management for Green Clouds

Abstract

Green cloud computing aims at a processing infrastructure that combines flexibility, quality of services, and reduced energy utilisation. In order to achieve this objective, the management solution must regulate the internal settings to address the pressing issue of data centre over- provisioning related to the need to match the peak demand. In this context, we propose an integrated solution for environment, services and network management based on organisation model of autonomous agent components. This work introduces the system management model, analyses the system’s behaviour, describes the operation principles, and presents a case study scenario and some results. We extended CloudSim to simulate the organisation model approach and implemented the migration and reallocation policies using this improved version to validate our management solution.
