Title
FreeVM: A Server Release Algorithm in DataCenter Network
Abstract
With the development of 5G access technology and the corresponding explosive growth of user requests, service providers have to activate more and more physical machines (PM) in cloud datacenters. This simple expansion of PMs results in not only low utilization of servers but also high maintenance cost. Existing researches that try to release unnecessary servers by migrating VMs always face a severe challenge-the large searching space for the optimal VM placement solution. In this paper, we prose a two-stage variable neighborhood searching (STVNS) algorithm, named FreeVM, which can significantly reduce the number of occupied servers. FreeVM works harmoniously with all kinds of VM placement schemes under various scenarios. We conducted an extensive series of experiments using real traces, and the results show that FreeVM can release at least 15% physical machines compared with existing solutions.
