A versatile traffic and power aware performability analysis of server virtualized systems
Résumé
We propose in this paper a workload-aware performability analysis of elastic server virtualized systems (SVS) based on non-Markovian SRN modeling approach. This analysis investigates correlations between several modules involving workload-aware power management (PM) mechanism, virtual machine (VM) and VM monitor (VMM) subject to aging, failure and rejuvenation. We show through numerical results how
performance (i.e. waiting time), power usage as well as powerperformance efficiency are impacted by power management attribute when using time varying workload with bursty nature. We show also how we can quantify PM attributes leading to small waiting time and a good utilization of the active power state.
