Green Cloud Computing
Book 1: Green Cloud Computing: Balancing Energy Efficiency and Carbon Footprint
Author: Yingwei Zhang and Anirban Vishwanath
Introduction:
The book covers various topics related to green cloud computing, including energy-efficient
data centre design, virtualization techniques, cloud computing architectures, and resource
management strategies. It also discusses the challenges of implementing green cloud
computing, such as the trade-offs between energy efficiency and performance, the need for
new hardware and software technologies, and the importance of data centre location and
cooling systems. Key findings include the importance of reducing server idle time,
implementing energy-aware resource allocation policies, and leveraging renewable energy
sources to power data centres.
Advantages:
1. The book offers a comprehensive overview of green cloud computing, covering both
theoretical and practical aspects of the subject matter.
2. It provides insights into the latest trends and innovations in green cloud computing,
including emerging technologies such as server consolidation, virtualization, and renewable
energy sources.
Disadvantages:
1. Some of the technical content in the book may be challenging for readers without a strong
background in computer science or engineering.
2. The book is focused primarily on the technical aspects of green cloud computing and may
not appeal to readers who are looking for a more general overview of the topic.
Conclusion:
"Green Cloud Computing: Balancing Energy Efficiency and Carbon Footprint" is a valuable
resource for anyone interested in the intersection of cloud computing and environmental
sustainability. It provides practical strategies for reducing energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions in cloud computing environments, while also addressing the
challenges and trade-offs involved in implementing energy-efficient systems.
