As far as I can tell in the past decade, energy efficiency, dynamic
migration, load-balancing, etc. in virtualization platforms, server farms
and cloud computing infrastructures have been discussed and researched
which are not new to the academic and industry.
A simple search result in IEEE:
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/search/searchresult.jsp?action=search&sortType=&rowsPerPage \
=&searchField=Search_All&matchBoolean=true&queryText=((%22Index%20Terms%22:virtualization)%20AND%20%22Index%20Terms%22:migration)&ranges=2004_2017_Year
Go check ACM too if you want.
I believe xenserver has some features about dynamic load balancing, see:
https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2015/01/22/citrix-xenserver-workload-balancing-wlb-why-xendesktop-and-xenapp-customers-really-should-take-note/
http://docs.citrix.com/content/dam/docs/en-us/xenserver/xenserver-65/XenServer-6.5.0_WLB_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf
If I understood you correctly then what was in your mind was balancing the
load and dynamically migrating VMs to lower energy consumption and
achieving a compromise between energy and performance. However, you should
think twice before jumping into this 'mess', like the search result shows,
it's not a very appealing research topic right now from my point of view.
BUT IF YOU DO have some innovations and really brilliant ideas then you
should continue on it. My suggestion is that you should go through all the
published result first and determine if you can make a difference.
PS: You should check the published results first (ACM\IEEE\other journals)
rather than posting here, as this is a user mailing list.
Good luck,
Kun
