Fitting green anycast strategies to cloud services in WDM hybrid power networks

The paper focuses on dynamic resource provisioning which minimizes carbon footprint of data centers interconnected via optical networks. The main contribution of this paper is a schema of fitting energy aware anycast strategies to different types of cloud services in order to reduce greenhouse gases emission. The proposed schema was compared to the cases when all types of cloud services were handled using the same anycast strategy. It is shown that the proposed schema is able to significantly reduce greenhouse gases emission without significant deterioration of network performance.
