Virtualization is one of the most active areas in cloud computing networks research. Passive Optical Networks (PONs) provide several benefits to the data centres such as low cost, low energy consumption and high bandwidth. In this study, we investigate the embedding of various cloud applications in PON AWGR and Server Based Data Centres. We optimize the power consumption of cloud applications' placement through the use of Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP). The results show that a reduction in power consumption by 24%, 22% and 26% can be achieved compared to non-optimized embedding of 5, 10 and 15 VMs respectively.
