Green Computing: An Era of Energy Saving Computing of Cloud Resources

Abstract

Cloud computing is a widely acceptable computing environment, and its services are also widely available. But the consumption of energy is one of the major issues of cloud computing as a green computing. Because many electronic resources like processing devices, storage devices in both client and server site and network computing devices like switches, routers are the main elements of energy consumption in cloud and during computation power are also required to cool the IT load in cloud computing. So due to the high consumption, cloud resources define the high energy cost during the service activities of cloud computing and contribute more carbon emissions to the atmosphere. These two issues inspired the cloud companies to develop such renewable cloud sustainability regulations to control the energy cost and the rate of CO 2 emission. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a green computing environment through saving the energy of cloud resources using the specific approach of identifying the requirement of computing resources during the computation of cloud services. Only required computing resources remain ON (working state), and the rest become OFF (sleep/hibernate state) to reduce the energy uses in the cloud data centers. This approach will be more efficient than other available approaches based on cloud service scheduling or migration and virtualization of services in the cloud network. It reduces the cloud data center's energy usages by applying a power management scheme (ON/OFF) on computing resources. The proposed approach helps to convert the cloud computing in green computing through identifying an appropriate number of cloud computing resources like processing nodes, servers, disks and switches/routers during any service computation on cloud to handle the energy-saving or environmental impact.

Research on illegal access behavior control of heterogeneous cloud resources based on lifecycle characteristics

“…By using encryption algorithms in the network security channel, the user access request instructions and transmitted heterogeneous cloud resources are encrypted and decrypted to ensure the security of user operations. The perception layer mainly includes proxy clients and security gateways for approving access rights to [14].…”

CSO-based Efficient Resource Management for Sustainable Cloud Computing

“…Cloud-fog computing is the practice of making use of a cloud provider's networked, off-site hardware components, such as storage and processing power, rather than on-site hardware [1]. Customers can get the computational power they need on demand without investing in any hardware [2].…”

A cascade ensemble-learning model for the deployment at the edge: case on missing IoT data recovery in environmental monitoring systems

“…The data collected by both options is generally sent to a centralized data center for analysis (Yassine et al, 2019). Most data centers are located in cloud services for storing and processing information (Shakerkhan and Abilmazhinov, 2019;Saxena et al, 2021). This approach provides the possibility of using knowledge-intensive and, at the same time, resourceconsuming methods of intelligent data analysis and returning instructions to information-gathering devices based on highprecision prediction or classification.…”
