Low Power Consumption on Cloud Data Centers Using HSA Algorithm

Abstract

The rapid development of knowledge and communication has created a new processing style called cloud computing. One of the key issues facing cloud infrastructure providers is minimizing costs and maximizing profitability. Power management in cloud centres is very important to achieve this. Energy consumption can be reduced by releasing inactive nodes or by reducing the migration of virtual machines. The second is one of the challenges of choosing the virtual machine deployment method to migrate to the right node. This article proposes an approach to reduce electricity consumption in cloud centres. This approach adapts Harmony's search algorithm to move virtual machines. Positioning is done by sorting nodes and virtual machines according to their priorities in descending order. Priority is calculated based on the workload. The proposed procedure is envisaged. The evaluation results show less virtual machine migration, greater efficiency and lower energy consumption.
