Recent studies indicate that the energy cost and carbon footprint of data centers have become exorbitant. It is a demanding and challenging task to reduce energy consumption in large-scale storage systems in modern data centers. Most energy conservation techniques inevitably have adverse impacts on parallel disk systems. To address the reliability issues of energy-efficient parallel disks, we propose a reliable energy-efficient RAID system called REED, which aims at improving both energy efficiency and reliability of RAID systems by seamlessly integrating HDDs and SSDs. At the heart of REED is a high-performance cache mechanism powered by SSDs, which are serving popular data. Under light workload conditions, REED spins down HDDs into the low-power mode, thereby offering energy conservation. Importantly, during an I/O access turbulence (i.e., I/O load is dynamically and frequently changing), REED is conducive to reducing the number of disk power-state transitions by keeping HDDs in the low-power mode while serving requests with SSDs. We build a model to quantitatively show that REED is capable of improving the reliability of energy-efficient RAIDs. We implement the REED prototype in a real-world RAID-0 system. Our experimental results demonstrate that REED improves the energy-efficiency of conventional RAID-0 by up to 73% while maintaining good reliability.

Time dependent energy tariffs are a matter of concern to managers in organisations, who need to rethink how to allocate resources to business processes so that they take into account energy costs. However, due to the time-dependent costs, the resource optimisation problem needs to be redesigned. In this paper we formalise the energy-aware resource allocation problem, including time-dependent variable costs;and present a case study in which an auction mechanism is used to find a solution. Our results show how the choice of cost (energy, monetary, or duration) affects the schedules obtained.
