Lifetime-aware cloud data centers: models and performance evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present a model to evaluate the server lifetime in cloud data centers (DCs). In particular, when the server power level is decreased, the failure rate tends to be reduced as a consequence of the limited number of components powered on.
