초록

최근 인터넷 기반 대용량 데이터 서비스에 수요가 급증함에 따라 대규모 데이터 센터의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 데이터 센터에서는 수많은 서버와 장비를 운영하기 위해 막대한 에너지를 소모한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 서버에서 시스템의 부하 수준에 따라서 특정 서버들에 부하를 집중시킨 후 서버를 즉시 종료함으로써 에너지를 절약하는 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 비디오 재생 요청이 전체 시스템에 균등하게 배분될 수 있도록 인기도에 따라 각 비디오가 저장되는 서버 그룹 수를 결정한다. 마지막으로 실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 멀티미디어 서버에서 데이터 배치 및 전원 관리 기법이 서비스 품질을 유지하면서 기존의 방법에 비해 전원을 켜는 서버 수를 줄임으로써 에너지를 크게 감소시킨다는 것을 보인다.

Recently, with the rapid increasing demands for data services on the Internet, the need for large-scale data centers has been increased. However, these data centers consume enormous amounts of energy to run numerous servers and equipment. In this paper, we therefore propose a novel scheme to save energy in multimedia servers by concentrating the load on specific servers according to the current load level of the overall system and turning them off immediately. To this end, the number of server groups in which each video is stored is determined according to its popularity so that video playback requests can be evenly distributed to the entire system. Finally, through extensive simulations, we show that our proposed data placement and power management scheme in multimedia servers significantly reduces energy consumption by decreasing the number of servers whose powers are on when compared with the existing method, while maintaining the service quality.
