This presentation brings insights on cloud and green cloud computing and briefs the readers with its potential in india and how it can be achieved. Numerous insights have been collectively put in into this presentation.
In today’s world the growing demand for knowledge has made cloud computing a center of attraction. Cloud computing is providing utility based services to all the users worldwide. It enables presentation of applications from consumers, scientific and business domains. However, data centers created for cloud computing applications consume huge amounts of energy, contributing to high operational costs and a large amount of carbon dioxide emission to the environment. With enhancement of data center, the power consumption is increasing at such a rate that it has become a key concern these days because it is ultimately leading to energy shortcomings and global climatic change. Therefore, we need green cloud computing solutions that can not only save energy, but also reduce operational costs.

Green cloud computing using heuristic algorithmsIliad Mnd
Green computing is defined as the study and practice of designing , manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated sub systems such as
monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and
communications systems efficiently and effectively with
minimal or no impact on the environment. Research continues into key areas such as making the use of computers as energy efficient as possible, and designing algorithms and systems for efficiency related computer technologies.

Energy Saving by Virtual Machine Migration in Green Cloud Computingijtsrd
Nowadays the innovations have turned out to be so quick and advanced that enormous all big enterprises have to go for cloud. Cloud provides wide range of services, from high performance computing to storage. Datacenter consisting of servers, network, wires, cooling systems etc. is very important part of cloud as it carries various business information onto the servers. Cloud computing is widely used for large data centers but it causes very serious issues to environment such as heat emission, heavy consumption of energy, release of toxic gases like methane, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, etc. High energy consumption leads to high operational cost as well as low profit. So we required Green cloud computing, which very environment friendly and energy efficient version of the cloud computing. In this paper the major issues related to cloud computing is discussed. And the various techniques used to minimize the power consumption are also discussed. Ruhi D. Viroja | Dharmendra H.

Green computing is the general way of using our computing methods in an Eco friendly way..This topic is given a high importance in one of the IEEE international seminars
What is "Green Computing" and why we need green computing in current Information technology (IT) industry to gain more benefits from electronic devices while we protect the environment.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup - Pixie Dust Attack. An offline bruteforce attack that leaves certain routers vulnerable. Works for Boardcom and Ralink chipset based Wi-Fi routers.
Green computing is the practice of designing, developing, using, and disposing of computer hardware, software, and systems in an environmentally friendly way. This involves reducing the environmental impact of computing by minimizing energy consumption, reducing electronic waste, and using sustainable materials. Green computing is becoming increasingly important as the use of technology continues to grow and the environmental impact of technology becomes more apparent.
ScottMadden has developed an approach for analyzing data center requirements and driving improvements in existing data center retrofits. Our approach takes into account the technological requirements, the physical attributes of a data center, and the requirements for a rigorous measurement and verification program needed to ensure improvements actually capture the energy efficiently gains and the resultant greenhouse gas reductions.
Our approach addresses the latest trends in data center management such as virtualization and cloud computing and provide a framework for developing metrics needed to drive changes in data center performance.
In my presentation, I will summarize the applied and practical aspects of creating sustainable software products. What does it mean - "green" software for users and developers? I want to explain how creating “green” software can be driven by multiple organizational layers. And how building “green” software products can help the organization increase overall software product efficiency.

Editor's Notes
Contents of the Presentation:
The reason I have called it as E-Journey(Environmental-Journey) is because we will come full cycle at the end of this presentation.
Definition of Green Computing as given by San Murugesan
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD) has published a survey of over 90 government and industry initiatives on "Green ICTs", i.e. information and communication technologies, the environment and climate change. The report concludes that initiatives tend to concentrate on the greening ICTs themselves rather than on their actual implementation to tackle global warming and environmental degradation
APM-Advanced Power Management
ACPI-Advanced configuration Power Interface-Predecessor to APM
SpeedStep-Intel’s Technology
Cloud Computing-
When talking about a cloud computing system, it's helpful to divide it into two sections: the front end and the back end. They connect to each other through a network, usually the Internet. The front end is the side the computer user, or client, sees. The back end is the "cloud" section of the system.
Transition from:
Capital Based Expenditure(CapEx) to Operation Based Expenditure(OpEx)
Steps mentioned here are according to the IBM’s “Big Green” Approach to Data Centre Energy Energy Efficiency
Virtualization continues to be one of the hottest green data center topics. Many current server CPU utilization rates
typically hover between 5% and 15%. Direct-attached storage utilization sits between 20% and 40%, with network storage
between 60% and 80%. Virtualization can increase hardware utilization by five to 20 times and allows organizations to
reduce the number of power-consuming servers. Cloud computing is the “ultimate” in virtualization
Moving processing and data closer to the user in the developing region plays an import role on three fronts;
Keeps needed jobs and systems ICT people in region,
2. Sidesteps high telecommunication bandwidth costs and network latency issues in and out of the region and
3. Quality of service: in region computing can remove a major points of network failure and potential bandwidth bottlenecks
PPP-Public Private Partnerships
Germany Example : Germany serves as an excellent example, as the country has become the world leader in solar power, with
half the world’s installations within its borders, thanks to policies including aggressive renewable energy subsidies and
large sums of money devoted to research.
The power consumption data for each server was obtained by first calculating the maximum power using HP’s power calculator , then
following the convention that average power use for midrange/high-end servers is 66% of maximum power.
Hard disk arrays include supporting functionality such as cache memories, disk array controllers, disk enclosures, and redundant power supplies. In a cloud computing data center, all the storage space in the data center is consolidated and hard disk usage is centrally coordinated.
Through server virtualization/consolidation, a very large number of users can share a single server, which increases utilization and in turn reduces the total number of servers required. Users do not have or need any knowledge of the tasks being performed by other
users and utilize the server as though they are the only user on the server. During periods of low demand, some of
the servers enter a sleep mode which reduces energy consumption.
OLPC-One Laptop Per Child Project
Examples such as 100$ laptop in US or Aakash Tablet PC launched in India
These signify the innovations under adverse conditions.
The first technological innovation highlighted herein focuses on the viability of small cloud computing farms deployed in small-scale data centers using low power processors like the Intel Atom, Arm Cortex and Via Nano. These central processing units (CPUs), originally designed for use in netbooks, require only 2 to 10 watts versus 80 to 160 watts for the processors typically used in data center servers. These low-power processors also have quiescent states that consume little energy, unlike the standard data center CPU that consumes 50% of its peak energy even while in idle mode.
Microsoft Research has an organizational division called Cloud Computing Futures (CCF), focused on reducing the operational costs of data centers
and increasing their adaptability and resilience to failure.
Among their findings: “these processors offer substantial fractions (33 percent to 50 percent) of the performance of
the high-performance processors used in Microsoft data centers but consume a disproportionally smaller amount of power (5 percent to 10 percent)”
Comparable studies have been performed, obtaining similar results, at Carnegie Mellon University’s “FAWN: A Fast Array of Wimpy Nodes,” the Greenscale Center for Energy-Efficient Computing at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Prioritization: If we prioritize energy-savings instead of operate on a smaller, more
cost effective solar PV system. Using energy aware cloud computing allows us also to
manage the computing load during extreme weather conditions, by shutting off nonessential
Activities. This leads to Energy Aware Cloud Computing.
The Green Grid Consortium estimates that even in an efficient data center, 42 percent
of the total power delivered to a traditional data center is consumed by chiller cooling
and computer room air conditioners.
One innovative approach is twofold: eliminating the majority of the heat to allow the use of ambient cooling
(augmented with spot rack cooling), and running the data center at higher temperatures.
The use of ambient cooling can be traced back for centuries in the Middle East and
across Africa, as people from these regions, now considered part of the “developing
world,” harnessed the cooler temperatures found underground to provide cooler air to
vent above-ground built structures, as in a thermal chimney. Same can be applied to Data Centers.
PUE Definition
Overall Power Drawn by the facility divided by the Power Delivered to the Data Centers.
PUE relates the total consumption of the installation with that considered essential to the service: the computer servers(IT Load).
It is the responsibility of the IT manager to reduce the consumption of IT load (renewing servers, virtualizing, etc.), and the
responsibility of the infrastructure manager to reduce the auxiliary consumption (more efficient equipment, free-cooling, etc.)
CUE –Carbon Usage Effectiveness
CUE defines CO2 emissions associated with the DC losses.
Energy-Use Dashboards at Montpelier, France
The demo data center in Montpelier, France is called the PSSC (Products and Solutions Support Center) Green Data
Center of the Future. The main idea was to create a customer friendly real-time green showcase production data center that
will demonstrate a large percentage of the currently available best practices in IT and facilities energy conservation,
integrating at least one bleeding-edge major conservation technology. The information on the use of a live camera,
thermal camera, and green IT energy use real-time dashboards available to IT personnel through a portal are interesting
innovations that can help communicate the energy efficiency of the data center to all interested employees.
The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is the metric used to measure the energy efficiency of a data center. Both IT and
non-IT resources’ energy consumption are gathered. Two PUEs are measured: overall and high-density zone.
Workload diversification: Because many different sorts of users will be availing themselves of diverse cloud resources – different
applications, different feature set preferences and different usage volumes – this will improve hardware utilization and
therefore make better use of power that is being used anyway to keep a server up and running. 2. Power-management
flexibility: It is easier to manage virtual servers than physical servers from a power perspective. If hardware fails, the load
can automatically be deployed elsewhere. Likewise, in theory, all virtual loads could be moved to certain servers when loads
are light and power-down or idle those that are not being used.
Recent implementation of cloud computing - virtualization at a Canadian non-profit, Earth Rangers, demonstrated their ability to replace 4 racks of servers with ½ rack of servers and ½ rack of storage for their entire IT Operation.
This case study is for a large cell phone company in South Africa. The cell phone company was experiencing very typical
