Energy Aware Of Cloud Computing Development Using Cloud Simulators

Cloud Computing its a hot topic nowadays, a concept that permits the organizations to access high performance computing and storage infrastructure at reduced cost through internet. With the fast development of cloud computing, the data center is becoming larger in scale and consumes more energy. From this situation comes the immediate need to develop cost-efficient energy saving methods to reduce the huge energy consumption in the cloud data center. The first solution to reduce the power consumption is to plan and test the optimal cloud data center structure before it is in production. We have achieved this goal through intensive testing of various well known cloud simulators (CloudSim, GreenCloud, Cloud Analyst, EMUSIM, GroudSim, DCSim). During this article we take in consideration both software based respectively software and hardware based simulators. Finally, we analyse and compare features of the existing cloud computing simulators and we take in consideration the most effective cloud solution for our project.
