Due to various reasons data centers have become ubiquitous in our society. Energy costs are significant portion of data centers total lifetime costs which also makes financial sense to operators. This increases huge concern towards the energy costs and environmental impacts of data center. Power costs and energy efficiency are the major challenges front of us.From overall cyber energy used, 15% is used by networking portion ofa data center. Its estimated that the energy used by network infrastructure in a data center world wide is 15.6 billion kWh and is expected to increase to around 50%.

Power costs and Energy Consumption plays a major role through out the life time of a data center, which also leads to the increase in financial costs for data center operators and increased usage of power resources. So, resource utilization has become a major issue in the data centers.

The main aim of this thesis study is to find the efficient way for utilization of resources and decrease the energy costs to the operators in the data centers using virtualization. Virtualization technology is used to deploy virtual servers on physical servers which uses the same resources and helps to decrease the energy consumption of a data center.
