‘Green Cloud’ refers to a sustainable way of cloud computing. It reduces energy demand and saves money while keeping an eye on environmental issues at the same time. Moving traditional IT infrastructure to the cloud is beneficial for the environment in several ways; primarily, it reduces the number of physical servers and increases the average utilisation of available computing units. If cloud providers do it right, a measurable impact on a company’s CO2 footprint can be achieved.
Recently, ‘Green Cloud’ has become a buzzword as more companies consider the CO2 emissions and the overall carbon footprint of their new cloud service providers’ facilities.
