An Improved Virtual Machine Placement Algorithm Based on Traffic Bandwidth Optimization in Data Center

The Virtual Machine(VM) placement is a serious problem to limit the improvement of resource utilization of data center. The VM traffic bandwidth demand is a Non zero-sum resource that the global traffic sum is relative with each VM placement position. In this paper, we introduce a new improved traffic constant algorithm in the data center, called Degree and Weighted Maximum Traffic Ratio(DWMTR). The proposal DWMTR algorithm defines a new weighted ratio parameter in this paper. The main body of the parameter is constructed with the ratio, current overall intra-cluster traffic divided by current overall inter-cluster traffic, when a new VM places in the data center. The DWMTR algorithm has the ability to constraint the inter-cluster traffic incensement more strictly than the current VM placement algorithms based on traffic bandwidth allocation. For this algorithm based on the theoretical analysis and simulation, it confirms the proposed DWMTR possesses smaller global interactive traffic cost than the control group algorithms in the appointed VM placement in the three-layer data center model.
