Reduce VM migration in bandwidth oversubscribed cloud data centres

In modern data centres (DCs), energy consumption and resource management are challenging tasks. So in large virtualized DCs, performance of applications is highly dependent on energy-aware DC architecture and smooth network communication between virtual machines (VMs), while minimizing the communication burden to avoid congestion, latency etc. The communication cost of a network can be reduced by minimizing the VMs migration between physical machines (PMs). Therefore customer as well as service providers need cloud computing solutions that not only minimize operational costs, but also total network load. Minimizing the use of energy/network communication overhead with maximum resource utilization in large DCs is a challenging task as computing applications and data are growing so quickly for which increasing larger servers and disks are required to process them fast enough within the required time period. In order to minimize network load and maximize resource utilization in cloud DCs, we simulated our proposed network load-aware scheduling algorithm that ensures minimum VMs migration while delivering the negotiated Quality-of-Service (QoS). Our simulation also shows results with different bit rates.
