Abstract :
So far, mitigating the energy consumed by data centers has received much attention in order to increase the energy-efficiency in clouds. Nevertheless, the energy consumed by data transport represents a significant percentage according to the overall consumption of the cloud. Hence, by exploiting network and router consolidation we design and evaluate a Green Cloud Architecture (GCA), where we can either shut down, or make in sleeping mode virtual routers; or migrate virtual routers towards another physical router according to energy-awareness. Our green architecture significantly reduces the number of powered ON routers, and thus the power consumption during data transport by up to 41%.
