N2 - Energy usage in data centres continues to be a major and growing concern as an increasing number of everyday services depend on these facilities. Research in this area has examined topics including power smoothing using batteries and deep learning to control cooling systems, in addition to optimisation techniques for the software running inside data centres. We present a novel real-time power-cycling architecture, supported by a media distribution approach and online prediction model, to automatically determine when servers are needed based on demand. We demonstrate with experimental evaluation that this approach can save up to 31% of server energy in a cluster. Our evaluation is conducted on typical rack mount servers in a data centre testbed and uses a recent real-world workload trace from the BBC iPlayer, an extremely popular video on demand service in the UK.
