Assuming the importance of green energy, cloud providers need to work together with renewable energy organizations and government. Using cloud computing not only increase the company’s ROI, but also lowers the carbon emission. In Iceland the technology has already applied in the most businesses.

Data centers can easily be over the capacity even with available floor space, simply because the devices on the floor consume more power than the data center can supply, or generate more heat than it can cool. The performance of data centers should be monitoring better if the relationship of power, cooling and computing are monitored. However, moving the services to the cloud will just cause inherent cost and consumption savings associated with cloud computing. To sum up, the budget and green business promises for the cloud will be ensured through this technology.
Over the past year the cloud computing boomed into a $16.5 billion of the market. As cloud computing reduces cost and reduces energy consumption it becomes more popular among the companies and the revenue is projected to grow at an annual rate of 27%. According to the Wall Street Journal, the cloud applications are expected to triple to 1.35 million in the same period.
Lot of companies move to the cloud, however, some important information are kept on-premise. There are some ghosts servers often run at 15% to 20% utilization or less, but consume power and emit heat at levels approaching a fully utilized server. For instance, Yahoo as one of the largest companies that has embraced a cloud infrastructure. The company reported recently had 32 data centers running between 350,000 and 400,000 servers. While all those servers are consuming power and producing heat, the energy consumption could be even greater with a conventional (rather than cloud) infrastructure, given what Yahoo! is doing. For one thing, it is serving some 10 billion ads per day across its global infrastructure.
