Abstract

Exceptional level of research work has been carried in the field of cloud and distributed systems for understanding their performance and reliability. Simulators are becoming popular for designing and testing different types of quality of service (QoS) matrices e.g. energy, virtualisation, and networking. A large amount of resource is wasted when servers are sitting idle which puts a negative impact on the financial aspects of companies. A popular approach used to overcome this problem is turning them ON/OFF. However, it takes time when they are turned ON affecting different matrices of QoS like energy consumption, latency, consumption and cost. In this paper, we present different energy models and their comparison with each other based on workloads for efficient server management. We introduce a different type of energy saving techniques (DVFs, IQRMC) which help toward an improvement in service. Different energy models are used with the same configuration and possible solutions are proposed for big data centres that are placed globally by large companies like Amazon, Giaki, Onlive, and Google.
