  • Enhancement of dynamic Virtual Machines (VM) consolidation is an efficient means to improve the energy efficiency via effective resources utilization in Cloud data centers. In this paper, we propose an algorithm, Energy Conscious Greeny Cloud Dynamic Algorithm, which considers multiple factors such as CPU, memory and bandwidth utilization of the node for empowering VM consolidation by using regression analysis model. This algorithm is the combination of several adaptive algorithms such as EnCoReAn (UPReAn) for Predicting the Utility of a host), Overload and Under-load detection), VM Selection and Allocation algorithms, which helps to achieve live VM migration by switching-off unused servers to low-power mode (i.e., sleep or hibernation), thus saves energy and efficient resource utilization. This approach reduces the operational cost, computation time and increase the scalability. The experimental result proves that, the proposed algorithm attains significant percentage in reduction of energy consumption rather than existing VM consolidation strategies.
