Abstract
Business service through the Internet, particularly the cloud computing paradigm, have demanded more computational resources from data centers to provide high-availability services. As consequence, issues such as operational costs and sustainability increase, mainly, due to the redundant infrastructures needed to support the data center operation. However, data center designers have slightly information on the sustainability impact, operational cost and availability of data center architectures. In this context, models are important to support data center designers to estimate the environmental impact, dependability as well as the cost associated to the infrastructure before implementing it. This paper presents a set of formal models for estimating sustainability impact and dependability metrics, supported by an integrated environment, namely, ASTRO.Keywords
