By using migration,virtual machines which located in different place can be consolidated.Then vain physical machines can be shutdown or hibernated in order to save power.Existing methods merely focus on migration cost or application-aware communication cost.Combined these two factors a virtual machines migration method is proposed based on migration cost and communication cost for power saving.It is shown that this method can efficiently save power in cloud and decrease communication cost.
