Kamali Gupta, Vijay Katiyar . Energy Aware Virtual Machine Migration Techniques for Cloud Environment. International Journal of Computer Applications. 141, 2 ( May 2016), 11-16. DOI=10.5120/ijca2016909551
Cloud Computing offers indispensable infrastructure for storage and computing facilities for development of diversified services. The large utilization of resources leads to increased energy consumption that has imposed a limit on performance growth. Owing to high operational costs and carbon dioxide footprints, an efficient energy management technique needs to be developed and deployed that reduces overall energy consumption of a cloud environment while maximizing the resource utilization. In the first phase of this research, some virtual machine migration techniques were explored. In the second phase, a virtual machine migration technique has been implemented which aims at reducing energy consumption in cloud datacentres.
