摘要：Cloud computing is a new emerging technology in IT field. Cloud computing has capability to provide whole IT as a service to its users. There are many characteristics of cloud computing that makes it attractive in a variety of problems. Users of the cloud are free from the housekeeping activities related to the infrastructure. This is because in cloud computing, managing the hardware is cloud service provider’s concern. When a user application is deployed in the cloud, depending on the QoS specified by the user, cloud service provider deploys servers for smooth running of the user application. The total number of servers deployed for a user application must be optimal, because underutilized servers are not economical for both cloud service provider and cloud user. Underutilized servers consume power when they are idle; hence deploying optimal number of servers is critical in the operation of the cloud. Server consolidation is the method of increasing the utilization levels of servers, such that more applications are accommodated in servers, this avoids unwanted deployment of servers. This paper provides an approach towards server consolidation in a priority based cloud architecture.
