A Study on Virtual Machines Placement in Distributed Cloud Data Centers for Reducing Energy Consumption and Carbon Emission

Abstract: Cloud Computing has become a buzzword in the IT industry. Cloud computing is being used widely in IT companies. It provides various benefits to the users like cost savings and ease of use. Because of this benefits the demand for cloud services are increases. Due to this energy consumption in data center increases as well as carbon is emitted in large amount. Therefore, we require to develop some another methodology for environment friendly computing i.e Green Cloud Computing. We proposed our approach toward this.

Keywords: Cloud Computing, Data Center, Energy-Efficiency and Power Consumption, Carbon Emission.
