Abstract: Cloud computing is a new model of computing that is widely used in today’s industry, organizations and society in information technology service delivery as a utility. It enables organizations to reduce operational expenditure and capital expenditure. However, cloud computing with underutilized resources still consumes an unacceptable amount of energy than fully utilized resource. Many techniques for optimizing energy consumption in virtualized cloud have been proposed. This paper surveys different energy efficient models with task consolidation in the virtualized cloud computing environment.

Keywords: Cloud computing, Virtualization, Task consolidation, Energy consumption, Virtual machine
