Green Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

Over the last few years, the concept of Green mobile Computing has surfaced as organizations assess their carbon footprints and the influence they have on the environment. Aside from environmental and social concerns that are becoming increasingly significant to users, the financial costs of maintaining energy-burning and heat-producing IT systems make greener solutions more appealing. Green computing is the process of implementing ways to maximize the productivity of computer resources while lowering their energy consumption and environmental impact in an architecture such as of Internet of Things. Green Cloud is emerging as a quotient of these trends, resulting in a concept that is both energy efficient and carbon emission conscious. Fog computing structure also tackles these problems by deploying micro clouds or cloudlets as data centers at the edge of data sources, which complements the cloud framework’s extensive capabilities. This study looks at some of the approaches that can be used to make a cloud or fog platform ecologically responsible. Virtualization and migration techniques are explained using the example of an IoT-based automated outdoor lighting system that keeps its data in the cloud/fog to fulfill a green and energy-efficient purpose.
