Abstract

In general, cloud computing focus on the data computing efficiency; green cloud computing is a new thinking which is based on cloud computing architecture and focuses on the energy efficiency of device and computing. Although it is widely claimed that cloud computing is “green” because of its better energy efficiency, we are going to examine this thesis more carefully via an analytic approach in this paper. We discuss a hierarchical structure to build the virtual network for facilitating management.

Keywords: Green IT, Green Computing, Environment Protection, Environment Sustainability
