Due to over reliance of today’s cloud computing and high performance computing, the size and amount of the data center develop rapidly , which has led to an essential increase in data production, network traffic and energy consumption. As a result energy and operation cost of data centers has brought remarkable challenges in field of cloud computing. When a user application is deployed in the cloud, depending on the SLA, cloud service provider deploys servers for smooth running of the user application. The total number of servers deployed for a user application must be optimal, because underutilized servers are not economical for both cloud service provider and cloud user. Underutilized servers consume power when they are idle; hence deploying optimal number of servers is critical in the operation of the cloud. Server consolidation is a popular approach to reduce cloud data center’s energy consumption by minimizing the number of active physical machines. Main focus of research will be on optimizing resource utilization by server consolidation considering parameter like performance and power consumption.
