Abstract

The Cloud provider offers computing resources such as processing capabilities, storage, network bandwidth etc. to the consumers on pay-as-go model. Due to its wide adaptability and ease of use, Cloud has emerged drastically over the last few years. However, increase in Cloud usage has lead to increase in number of computing resources and hence, increase in energy consumption. Recently, the issue of effective energy consumption has been addressed by a good number of researchers. In our work, we intend to study various energy efficient techniques for Cloud which uses resource allocation and consolidation to achieve the same. Further, we try to modify the existing technique by adding an extra parameter viz. time which assists in maximizing resource utilization and minimizing number of running servers.
