With the increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, data centers are experiencing immense augmentation in the hardware devices with an increase in the traffic to the cloud infrastructures. To handle this growth and to satisfy users demand, data centers require more energy. The IoT devices produce vast data which needs to be handled properly by the data centers which in turn is responsible for increase in the power consumption at the data centers Management and reduction of this energy is quite a challenging task for the managers and the designers of the data centers as increasing cost of data centers is posing a major hindrance.. One major aspect that needs to be taken into consideration is the sharing of the data center resources which is fundamentally achieved by the consolidation of the resources. The analysis done will conclude that consolidation plays an important role in the reduction of energy consumption of a data center.
