Economic efficiency control on data centre resources in heterogeneous cost scenarios

Optimisation of resource selection in hybrid cloud data centres depends on the control of resource usage. The primary criterion for this resource selection is economic efficiency. The presented approach considers operational efficiency aspects in service providing and therefore focuses on technical criteria, such as resource load, as well as economic criteria, such as the costs of resource usage. When services are offered at different service levels the approach enables revenue optimisation in cases of excessive load. The concept is prepared to handle heterogeneous IaaS scenarios.
