Invited Paper
Energy Efficiency and Performance of Cloud Data Centers – Which Role can Modeling Play?
Paul J. Kuehn (University of Stuttgart/IKR)
Virtualization and Load Balancing are main objectives to reduce the power consumption and to improve the performance of data centres (DC). The talk addresses the question how modeling and mathematical performance evaluation methods can contribute to support energy-efficient use of resources and dynamic load balancing in virtualized service environments.
15:00 – 15:30
Coffee Break
15:30 – 16:45
Data Center Round Tables
Session Chair: Gunnar Schomaker (University of Paderborn/SICP)
The DC industry is an ongoing prospering domain. During the last decade we have seen many innovative infrastructure designs trying to handle environmental dependencies and new ICT solutions with increased volatile dynamics in demanding different resources. Eventually, the opportunities for DC architects, operators and direct customers to support “run green” and to keep all interest is still a challenge and has reached a new level of complexity. At 2-3 round tables we will discuss and try to assign existing technologies, trends, research results and future challenges within the operational stack of DCs. The aim is to reach an overview and common understanding about the impact of opportunities to reach holistic sustainability.
16:45 – 17:00
Closing of the Workshop
Gunnar Schomaker (University of Paderborn/SICP)
