Energy Efficient Computing Strategies for Green Cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing requires the provision of computing services on demand, typically via the internet and with a pay-as-you-go model. It represents a specialized variant of distributed computing aimed at remotely provisioning scalable and measurable resources. These technologies offer scalability, reliability, high performance, and trustworthiness at a comparatively low cost. This paradigm shift is reshaping contemporary networking, offering both technological and economic benefits alongside environmental conservation. The development of eco-friendly cloud solutions, characterized by enhanced energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprints and electronic waste, is called as Green Cloud computing. This paper explores various computing strategies designed for Green Cloud. It begins with an overview of Green Cloud computing, followed by an exploration of recent strategies designed to address diverse environmental concerns. Finally, it examines the challenges inherent in Green Cloud computing.
