Abstract

Cloud Data Centers (CDCs) are vital to today's digital infrastructure, supporting services like web browsing and media streaming. However, rising electricity consumption and maintenance costs pose significant challenges for service providers. This research introduces the Maintenance Energy Costs Data Center (MECDC) algorithm, which optimizes maintenance and energy expenses. By utilizing dynamic server state management—Active Mode and Sleep Mode—along with modeling maintenance costs and energy consumption patterns, MECDC achieves substantial savings. Evaluations in real-world scenarios show that MECDC outperforms traditional load-balancing and energy-saving strategies.
