Profile-based application management for green data centres

摘要

This thesis presents a profile-based application management framework for energy-efficient data centres. The framework is based on a concept of using Profiles that provide prior knowledge of the run-time workload characteristics to assign applications to virtual machines. The thesis explores the building of profiles for applications, virtual machines and servers from real data centre workload logs. This is then used to inform static and dynamic application assignment, and consolidation of applications.
