| Abstract | Energy management has become a significant concern in data centers to reduce operational costs and maintain systems' reliability. Using virtualization allows server consolidation, which increases server utilization and reduces energy consumption by turning off unused servers. However, server consolidation and turning off servers can cause also consequences if they are not exploited efficiently. For instance, many researchers consider a deterministic demand for capacity planning, but the demand is always subject to uncertainty. This uncertainty is an outcome of the workload prediction and the workload fluctuation. This paper presents a robust optimization for proactive capacity planning. We do not presume that the demand of VMs is deterministic. Thus, we implement a range prediction approach instead of a single point prediction. Then, we implement a robust optimization model exploiting the range-based prediction to determine the number of active servers for each capacity planning period. The results of the simulation show that our approach can mitigate undesirable changes in the power-state of the servers. Additionally, the results indicate an increase in the servers' availability for hosting new VMs and reliability against a system failure during power-state changes. As future work, we intend to apply our approach to dynamic workload such as a web application. We plan to investigate applying our approach to other resources, where we consider only the CPU demand of VMs. Finally, we compare our approach against the approaches using stochastic optimization. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
