Energy efficiency in data centres is addressed through workload management usually to reduce the operational costs and as a by-product, the environmental footprint. This includes to minimise total power consumption or to minimise the power issued from non-renewable energy sources. Hence, the performance requirements of the client's applications...

Data centres are powerful ICT facilities which constantly evolve in size, complexity, and power consumption. At the same time users' and operators' requirements become more and more complex. However, existing data centre frameworks do not typically take energy consumption into account as a key parameter of the data centre's configuration. To...

To maintain an energy footprint as low as possible, data centres manage their VMs according to conventional and established rules. Each data centre is however made unique due to its hardware and workload specificities. This prevents the ad hoc design of current VM managers from taking these particularities into account to provide additional...
