Abstract:
With the emergence of the Future Internet and the dawning of new IT models such as cloud computing, the
usage of data centers (DC), and consequently their power consumption, increase dramatically. Besides the
ecological impact, the energy consumption is a predominant criteria for DC providers since it determines the
daily cost of their infrastructure. As a consequence, power management becomes one of the main challenges
for DC infrastructures and more generally for large-scale distributed systems. In this paper, we present the
EPOC project which focuses on optimizing the energy consumption of mono-site DCs connected to the regular
electrical grid and to renewable energy sources.
