Abstract:

Cloud computing is offering utility-oriented IT services to users
worldwide. Based on a pay-as-you-go model, it enables hosting of
pervasive applications from consumer, scientific, and business domains.
However, Data Centers hosting Cloud applications consume huge amounts of
energy, contributing to high operational costs and carbon footprints to
the environment. Therefore, we need Green Cloud computing solutions that
can not only save energy for the environment but also reduce operational
costs. This seminar presents vision, opportunities, architectural
elements, Data Center resource management techniques, and open
challenges for energy-efficient management of Cloud computing
environments.
