Abstract:
Green computing and cloud computing have been two important trends in the ICT sector in recent years. Green computing suggests that the information and communications technology (ICT) business has become a substantial energy user and, as a result, a major producer of CO2 emissions. Cloud computing enables the purchasing of IT equipment as a service with no upfront expenses. In this study, the confluence of these two developments, green cloud computing, will be examined first based on existing published research, which show that cloud servers are the most environmentally friendly alternative for providing services. Private cloud hosting may be outsourced, allowing businesses to operate more effectively. In addition, three case studies of cutting-edge enterprises providing green hosting services are provided, and incentives influencing their resource development are examined. The findings show that there is now no market demand for green vps hosting because the primary incentive for businesses is cheap pricing. Green service providers should demonstrate their greenness using clear efficiency indicators, develop green service level agreements, and compete on greenness. It is therefore up to end users to demand more green online services, resulting in a need for green cloud computing and green cloud solutions.
