Highlights• Metrics to classify servers in a heterogeneous cloud environment based on server's power consumption and performance characteristics.• Adaptive heterogeneous and thermal aware heuristic approaches for the problem of energy and performance efficient dynamic consolidation of VMs. • Accounted for server processor sleep states and state transition time latencies in a heterogeneous cloud environment.• Hybrid heuristics approach, which works with both homogeneous and heterogeneous server cloud environment and improves cloud datacenters' energy efficiency. • Extensive simulation-based evaluation and analysis of the proposed algorithms.
