Data Center power consumption: an environmental problem... About 0.5% of global electricpowerconsumptionis due to DC In developedcountry: UK: 2.2-3.3% USA: 1.5% From the environmentalpointofview: 2% of global CO2emissions Source: EU Commission
Data Center power consumption: …but first an economic one 12% 35% Number of Servers (M units) 28% IT costs 25% New Servers costs Energy and cooling costs Source: EU Commission Source: Microsoft Research
DC Inefficiencies • Energy consumption reduction through server consolidation • Maintenance costs economies of scale • Efficient cooling systems solutions Courtesy of IBM
Some Data Centers around the world • Microsoft (Quincy, WA) • 43.600 m2 (10 football fields) • 4,8 km chiller piping • 965 km electrical wire • Yahoo (Quincy, WA) • 13.000 m2 • Google (Dalles, OR) • 6.380 m2 servers area • 1.900 m2 administration offices • 1.500 m2apartments • 1.700 m2 cooling towers
What about the network? • Inefficiencies: networks, too, are designed according to the peak traffic value
Additional issues Workloads change during the day Energy costs spatial and time variability
Green Cloud goals Design novel resource allocation policies for energy-aware Clouds Dynamic allocation of computing resources Joint management of network and data centers energy consumption Define business models for green clouds: scenarios, drivers, role of regulators

Energy management modeled as Optimization Problems • DC Autonomic Resource Management: • Mixed Integer Non Linear Problem, solution based on Local Search • Network Power Aware Routing Problem: • Mixed Integer Linear Problem, solution based on commercial solvers
DC autonomic resource management – Preliminary results Scenario 2:customersfromtwodifferenttimezones Scenario 1:customersfrom the sametime zone • Averagesavingsscenario 1: 15% • Averagesavingsscenario 2: 25% Comparisonwith a DC running at full capacity
DC autonomic resource management – Preliminary results IBM Tivoli Comparison Oursolution Oursolution IBM Tivoli IBM Tivoli
Network power aware routing – Preliminary results Power savings (W/h) • Powerawarefixedrouting vs. Nominalconsumption • Powerawarevariablerouting vs. Nominalconsumption Time Power (W/h) Time
Current work • Integrationof DC and network layerpolicies • Smart grid and green energysourcesmodelling • Validation in industrial testbeds
