Exploration on the energy crisis caused by cloud computing

Abstract

The on-demand availability of computer system resources, in particular data storage and processing capacity, without direct active administration by the user is known as cloud computing. Since the service provider guarantees prompt, guaranteed, and smooth delivery of our services and also handles all maintenance and management of our IT services in accordance with the service-level agreement, cloud computing removes the need for IT infrastructure upgrades and maintenance (SLA). Switching to sustainable energy sources, such as solar, wind, biogas, water, etc., is the only long-term answer to this issue. For both private and public cloud services, the study showed that computing, storage, and transportation used the most energy. Transportation was even greater energy expenses in public clouds. Equipment for cloud processing has undergone significant energy saving improvements recently. This paper represents the recent trends to prevent cloud computing energy crisis.
