Summary :

The Virtual Machine Consolidation (VMC) algorithm is the core strategy of virtualization resource management software. In general, VMC efficiency dictates cloud datacenter efficiency to a great extent. However, all the current Virtual Machine (VM) consolidation strategies, including the Iterative Correlation Match Algorithm (ICMA), are not suitable for the dynamic VM consolidation of the level of physical servers in actual datacenter environments. In this paper, we propose two VM consolidation and placement strategies which are called standard Segmentation Iteration Correlation Combination (standard SICC) and Multi-level Segmentation Iteration Correlation Combination (multi-level SICC). The standard SICC is suitable for the single-size VM consolidation environment and is the cornerstone of multi-level SICC which is suitable for the multi-size VM consolidation environment. Numerical simulation results indicate that the numbers of remaining Consolidated VM (CVM), which are generated by standard SICC, are 20% less than the corresponding parameters of ICMA in the single-level VM environment with the given initial condition. The numbers of remaining CVMs of multi-level SICC are 14% less than the corresponding parameters of ICMA in the multi-level VM environment. Furthermore, the used physical servers of multi-level SICC are also 5% less than the used servers of ICMA under the given initial condition.
