A review of green cloud computing techniques and algorithms

Abstract

Cloud computing is gaining importance in the present day world with increased usage of computers and computing power. Cloud computing deals with a number of virtual machines linked to various data centers spread across a cloud. While cloud computing techniques/algorithms facilitate many advantages to the user community, it also penalizes in terms of energy consumption and quality of service. In the context of realizing a unique cloud computing technique/algorithm, the paper presents a summary of the work done and the need for a greener cloud computing technique/algorithm which satisfies minimum energy consumption, minimum carbon emission and maximum quality of service
