Zusammenfassung
Cloud Computing has recently become an important driver for IT service provisioning. In addition
to its associated benefits for both customers and IT service providers, cloud computing also comes
along with new challenges. One of the major challenges for providers is to reduce the energy
consumption, since today already more than fifty percent of operational costs in data centers
account for energy. A possible way to reduce these costs is to distribute load in terms of virtual
machines within the data center. Developing algorithms for this purpose has been a topic of recent
research. In order to capture the state of the art of energy efficient load distribution in clouds, this
paper presents a structured literature review on load distribution algorithms that aim to reduce the
energy consumption in data centers for cloud computing. The algorithms are reviewed in terms of
their type, their evaluation method and their potential side effects in terms of drawbacks.
