Green Data warehouse Design and Exploitation

Abstract

In the last few years, the environment protection has become a reel concern in all areas. The "Green" label is thus widely used by commercials to glamorize their products, while in practice, this aspect is still neglected. Even in IT domains, the Green initiative is not only advocated in hardware manufacturing and exploitation but also in software development. In this case, the challenge is to design and implement efficient and sustainable software that consume low energy and require less hardware while maintaining its performance. In this respect, we propose in this paper an approach to design and exploit green Data warehouse. We also propose several guidelines and best practices to achieve this purpose.
