Green cloud computing, also known as green information technology, is a potential solution to aide in the reduction of energy consumption. it’s has been developed by the University of Luxembourg .Green cloud computing is the study of designing, producing and using digital devices in a way that reduces their impact on the environment.

Benefits of Going Green

we can say that ,Green cloud computing is a solution that allows users to utilize all the benefits of cloud storage while also decreasing its adverse effects. The ultimate goal of green cloud computing is to reduce the power consumption of large data centers (Amazon, Google, eBay, etc.).

Green cloud computing aims to include energy-efficient technology, environmentally sustainable production practices and improved waste and recycling procedures.

  • Green Production: with the help of Green Production we can Minimizing energy and waste by recycling and repurposing equipment during the production process of digital devices can contribute to a more suitable for environment.
  • Green Design: We can designed servers for energy-efficient, infrastructure, computers, and system software applications and other digital equipment (devices) will reduce the amount of energy consumed in the future on data center
  • Green Usage: Reducing the amount of energy a product utilizes while in use can reduce up to 27% of energy. with the help of this in 2020, energy savings of $12.3 billion can be achieved in US alone.

Method to Make the Cloud Green

There are Three techniques could revolutionize the future of green cloud computing:

  • Nano Data Centers: In modern data center for the increased concern over energy consumption in mod- ern data centers, we propose a new, distributed computing platform called Nano Data Centers Nano Data Centers are more energy-efficient than conventional data centers. They help reduce the cost of heat dissipation, they have high service proximity, and have the capacity for self-adaptation or self-scalability.
  • Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling: This is a method that reduces the energy and power consumption processes used with frequency scaling. in the Implementing this technique will reduce energy consumption and leverage the utilization of the resource.
  • Virtualization: Virtualization is a technique that improves machine management and energy efficiency through sharing a single physical instance of a resource(application) with on or more (multi)customers or organizations at the same time. It maximizes the number of available system resources in an eco-friendly way. It enables better monitoring and management of the resource allocation.

Conclusion: The management of power consumption in data centers has led to a number of substantial improvements in energy efficiency. Cloud computing infrastructure is housed in data centers and has benefited significantly from these advances. Techniques such as sleep scheduling and virtualization of computing resources in cloud computing data centers improve the energy efficiency of cloud computing.
