An Apriori-Based Energy-Efficient Algorithm for SDN Data Center

This paper targets on energy saving for SDN-based datacenter. A SApriori energy-efficient Algorithm is provided. Though full considering the user request, response and relationships between various factors, SApriori is more practical and more valuable than other typical energy-efficient Algorithm. Access efficiency is improved and overall storage requirements are reduced by running the SApriori. The datacenter network's control and forwarding is separated effectively by adopting SDN. Therefore, efficient deployment and implementation of energy saving strategy is possible in SDN structure. Simulation result shows that the strategy proposed by this paper can save more energy than other typical energy-efficient Algorithm and overall storage is reduced.
