Green Cloud Computing - A Greener Approach To IT

Cloud Computing is one of the most widely emergent areas in today's IT sector. It helps a number of people to use various services through their own devices with the help of the internet. It provides an environment which has low cost, easy to use and also consumes less power with virtualization. VM's are required to be managed by a number of task scheduling algorithms to make sure that the less amount of energy consumption takes place. This paper deals with the importance of green cloud computing and how it can provide alternatives to the IT sector in terms of the energy consumption, load on data centers, VM average load and the task distribution. All these experiments have been performed by using a green cloud simulator in which three different algorithms are being used such as DENS, Round Robin and Green Schedulers.
