Title
A Data Center Control Architecture for Power Consumption Reduction.
Abstract
In recent years, the emergence of the cloud computing has increased the need of resources to support cloud-based services. Therefore, the role of the data centers has become essential. Following the growing of services, power consumption has increased dramatically, while the need for energy savings and CO2 reduction has become a requirement for a sustainable world. The All4Green project fosters collaboration between energy providers (EP), data centers (DC) and customers/end users (EU) in order to provide energy savings and CO2 emissions reduction. In this architecture, the contract binding EPs and DCs includes flexibility terms in order to allow the collaboration in the form of discounts that can be transferred also to DC customers, if they are willing to collaborate. This paper introduces such new control architecture for the data centers oriented to energy savings. We provide a high-level view of the modules and functionalities required for achieving the collaboration goal. We describe how SLA conditions can be extended with flexible terms, how DCs can modulate their operational mode mode according to the EPs' and their own power consumption needs, and what are the new elements and functionalities that must be implemented in the DC.
