Abstract
Power is becoming a critical resource to large scale server systems and data centers. With active deployment of virtualization technology, power management raise more challenges and have negative impact on system performance due to : (1) the isolation between the guest Virtual Machines (VMs) and the Virtual Machines Manager (VMM), and (2)the independent operation between multiple VMs. In order to improve the conventional per-Operating System power management techniques and make it possible to control and globally coordinate the power management policies for virtualized resources among all VMs and the VMM, new features and sophisticated designs must be integrated into the VMM or Hypervisor. In this paper a review is presented on the power management challenges in virtualization environments and some proposed solutions are compared. This paper also presents some discussions on the research topics on power management in virtualization environments.
