Energy aware network scheduling for a data centre

Modern data centre energy consumption accounts for a large amount of operational cost. The idea of data centre energy optimisation deals with the job distribution between computing servers depending upon the workload. This paper projects the job role of communication material in the data centre energy consumption and proposes a scheduling approach that has both network awareness and efficient optimisation of energy consumption. This scheduling approach stabilises the energy consumption of the data centre, traffic demands and individual job performance. The proposed method enhances the server consolidation (to efficiently turn on/off the servers based on the workload) and also the distribution of traffic patterns.
