Abstract
Data centers contain IT, power and cooling infrastructures, each of which is typically managed independently. In this paper, we propose a holistic approach that couples the management of IT, power and cooling infrastructures to improve the efficiency of data center operations. Our approach considers application performance management, dynamic workload migration/consolidation, and power and cooling control to “right-provision” computing, power and cooling resources for a given workload. We have implemented a prototype of this for virtualized environments and conducted experiments in a production data center. Our experimental results demonstrate that the integrated solution is practical and can reduce energy consumption of servers by 35% and cooling by 15%, without degrading application performance.Keywords
