Green Cloud Computing-To Build A Sustainable Tomorrow

Abstract

Cloud computing is an excellent alternative to desk computing. Cloud computing technology has a massive number of users as they provide a range of scalability, trustworthiness, and high performance with comparatively low cost. As cloud computing is growing day by day, the energy use in the cloud is also increasing. There is also a need for energy use control in the segment of technology (information and communication). In the case of energy consumption, data centres have attracted more exposure. Green cloud computing corresponds to the environmentally sustainable use of computers and their IT-related tools and facilities. The development of cloud infrastructure redesigns traditional networks and provides both technical and economic benefits and exciting sustainable environmental initiatives. Such technology promises to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprints as well as e-waste. Energy-efficient solutions requiring the best use of the available resources are indeed a standard. The service providers need to implement and redesign the cloud technology to green computing to protect the environment from adverse cloud effects. Cloud architecture with green features includes power management, load balancing, green data centres, virtualisation, high-performance computing, renewability, reuse, recycling, etc. This paper provides a thorough research study on green cloud computing and its features. This paper highlights the challenges of green cloud computing.
