Abstract :
In this paper, we present thermal-aware file assignment technique called TIGER for reducing cooling cost of storage clusters in data centers. TIGER first calculates the thresholds of disks in each node based on its contribution to heat recirculation in a data center. Next, TIGER assigns files to data nodes according to calculated thresholds. We evaluated performance of TIGER in terms of both cooling energy conservation and response time of a storage cluster. Our results confirm that TIGER reduces cooling-power requirements for clusters by offering about 10 to 15 percent cooling energy savings without significantly degrading I/O performance.
