Abstract—Increasing demand for storage and computation has driven the growth for the environment with tremendous computer resources. To make huge resources available, virtualization technology provide flexible and manageable execution environment that is specialized for variety of applications using shared and manageable resources [1]-[3]. One of the major problems in computing systems and service processing is managing the available resources to support more demands. In this paper we have introduced some advantages of virtualization technology and proposed an intelligent virtual resource allocation method for virtualized data center. Since this problem is NP-hard, the solution has been focused on approximate methods based on genetic algorithm to find an optimum solution in a multi-tier distributed environment. Here, some mathematical analysis and technical evaluation have been presented to certify the advantage of the proposed method. Results of our evaluation compare with other methods appear to perform well in finding an approximate solution with less resource consumption ratio.
