In parallel and distributed computing, cloud computing is progressively replacing the traditional computing paradigm. The cloud is made up of a set of virtualized resources in a data center that can be configured according to users’ needs.

This study provides a complete analysis of classic scheduling techniques specifically for handling data-intensive workloads to see the effectiveness of the energy and network costs of the system. The workload is selected from a real-world data center. Moreover, this study offers the pros and cons of several classical heuristics-based job scheduling techniques that take into account the time and cost of transferring data from multiple sources.
