Abstract

Administering energy and resource management are two vital managing components of cloud data centers. From last two decades, most of cloud data centers (CDC) are suffering from these two; the former has become a serious issue nowadays. In this paper, we focused on effective virtual machine placement (VMP). Evolutionary approach is applied to place the virtual machine in an effective way which properly utilizes the underutilized resources and reduced the active physical servers. After experiencing the performance of particle swam optimization (PSO) algorithm for combinatorial problems, a distributed PSO approach is modeled to minimize energy consumption of CDCs. The proposed PSO and DPSO algorithms are applied on VMP over large distributed cloud data centers. Experimental results of PSO and distributed PSO algorithms are presented. The model is applied with variety of placement problems with varying data center network topology. The performance of the model outperforms the traditional heuristic and several optimizations approaches.
