Energy efficient hybrid policy in green cloud computing
ICGCIOT '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Green Computing and Internet of Things (ICGCIoT)As we know Energy is crucial research in today's world. Due to emerging trends in technology, consumption of energy is growing independently but energy production capabilities are not growing as fast so, efforts to produce more energy is proving hazards ...
Green Computing: Energy Consumption Optimized Service Hosting
SOFSEM '09: Proceedings of the 35th Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer ScienceGreen Computing is a recent trend towards designing, building, and operating computer systems to be energy efficient. While programs such as Energy Star have been around since the early 1990s, recent concerns regarding global climate change and the ...
Towards green cloud computing: Demand allocation and pricing policies for cloud service brokerage
BIG DATA '15: Proceedings of the 2015 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (Big Data)Functioning as an intermediary between tenants and cloud providers, cloud service brokerages (CSBs) can bring about great benefits to the cloud market. CSBs buy the cloud resources, i.e., servers, with lower prices from cloud providers and sell the ...

Until recently, society has taken the existence and operation of data centers for granted. Today, there is an emerging debate regarding their huge consumption of electricity and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The article observes: Approximately 6,000 data centers in the US, for instance, consumed roughly 61 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy in 2006; ... The total cost of that energy, $4.5 billion, was more than the cost of electricity used by all the color televisions in the US in 2006. More importantly, "the DOE reports that data centers consumed 1.5 percent of all electricity in the US in 2006, and their power demand is growing 12 percent a year." Furthermore, apart from power, the data centers also use resources in terms of cooling and space, which are both becoming limiting factors. Several approaches are reported regarding what is being done or what can be done to alleviate the problem, such as using more hydroelectricity co-located with the data centers, using air cooling, and installing personal energy meters. Some industry consortia, such as the Green Grid consortium, meet to share best practices. The intent of this article is to raise awareness at a general level. At the same time, the research community has been addressing these issues with concrete tools and innovations-for example, the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action IC0804 (http://www.cost804.org/).
