Title
RED-BL: Evaluating dynamic workload relocation for data center networks.
Abstract
In this paper, we present RED-BL (Relocate Energy Demand to Better Locations), a framework to minimize the electricity cost for operating data center networks over consecutive intervals of fixed duration. Within each interval, RED-BL provides a mapping of workload to a set of geographically distributed data centers. To this end, RED-BL uses the geographical and temporal variations in electricity prices as exhibited by electrical energy markets. In addition, we incorporate the transition costs associated with a change in workload mapping from one interval to the next, over a planning window comprising multiple such intervals. This results in a sequence of workload mappings that is optimal over the entire planning window, even though the workload mapping in a given interval may not be locally optimal.
