Abstract

Cloud computing is a fast evolving area of information and communication technologies(ICTs) that has created new environmental issues.Cloud computing technologies have a wide range of applications due to their scalability, dependability, and trustworthiness, as well as their ability to deliver high performance at a low cost. The cloud computing revolution is altering modern networking, offering both economic and technological benefits as well as potential environmental benefits. These innovations have the potential to improve energy efficiency while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions and e-waste. These traits have the potential to make cloud computing more environmentally friendly. Green cloud computing is the science and practise of properly designing, manufacturing, using,and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems like displays, printers, storage devices, and networking and communication systems while minimising or eliminating environmental impact. The most significant reason for a data centre review is to understand capacity, dependability, durability, algorithic efficiency, resource allocation, virtualization, power management, and other elements. The green cloud design aims to reduce data centre power consumption. The main advantage of green cloud computing architecture is that it ensures real-time performance while reducing IDC’s energy consumption (internet data center).This paper analyzed the difficulties faced by data centers such as capacity, planning and management, up-time and performance maintenance, energy efficiency and cost cutting, real time monitoring and reporting. The solution for the identified problems with DCIM system is also presented in this paper. Finally, it discusses the market report’s coverage of green data centres, green computing principles, and future research challenges. This comprehensive green cloud analysis study will assist native green research fellows in learning about green cloud concerns and understanding future research challenges in the field.

Keywords:green information and communication technologies, environmental protection, data center power consumption, challenges in data centers, DCIM system
