Abstract:
Enterprise database centers experience significant input-output bottlenecks due to fragmented hardware layouts and unoptimized workload distributions. Leaving storage resources idling leads to unnecessary energy expenditures and inefficient hardware lifecycles. This paper details a modified Best-Fit Decreasing heuristic model developed to handle multi-dimensional storage limits, balancing Central Processing Unit (CPU), Random Access Memory (RAM), and storage block capabilities simultaneously. The consolidation framework analyzes historical data access trends to prevent aggressive workload migrations that trigger unexpected performance latency bottlenecks. We evaluated the algorithmic framework against infrastructure traces monitoring 800 physical server nodes over a 30-day trial period. The performance analytics show that our heuristic saves 22.8% more power than static allocation models, while diminishing standard operational performance violations by 14.5%. The overall workload relocation overhead was restricted to 3.2% of cluster capability, proving that computing infrastructure can be optimized safely without introducing system latency or compromising active production application routines.
