Introduction

• Our earth is facing serious difficulties related to excessive energy usage, global warming, and other environmental issues.
• Solution of this problem is using environmentally friendly technology and to reduce carbon footprint from the environment.
• Many developing countries like Bangladesh are taking proper initiatives to implement sustainable and green computing in their country.
• A green cloud computing framework is proposed to practice sustainable study in data center in Bangladesh.

​

4

Introduction

• This study represents the barriers to implementing green and sustainable computing in Bangladesh and suggest some techniques to become sustainable in computing.

​

• The purpose of this study is to highlight how developing nations disregard sustainable computing policies while developed countries take seriously implementing sustainable technology regulations and how to overcome those difficulties by implementing sustainability in cloud computing.

Research Goals

Recommand a Sustainable framework for National data center of Bangladesh

7

Literature Review

• Technology also has a harmful impact on the environment

​

• A significant amount of carbon footprint generates due to high energy consumption of data center and the presence of hazardous materials in e-waste, or electronic trash.

​

​

8

Literature Review

• The key component needed to power this technical apparatus is electricity.
• When coal or oil is used to produce energy, carbon dioxide and other pollutants are released into the environment.

9

Literature Review

Advantages of using sustainable computing techniques in enterprises and those are:

• Assists organizations to capitalize from eco-friendly methods
• Satisfies the standards for carbon reporting and reduction
• Reduces operational costs
• Improves the reputation of an organization

10

Literature Review

Some of the organizations of developed countries have implemented environmental management practices (EMPs) to achieve sustainable technology. These practices include:

• Life cycle analysis
• Environmental requirements for suppliers
• Environmental inspections
• Total cost management
• Total quality management
• Pollution prevention strategies
• Environmental training for employees

​

11

Literature Review

Barriers to implement sustainable computing strategy in Bangladesh:

• Shortage of affordable and accessible green computing equipment
• Insufficient human expertise about making computing sustainable
• A lack of financing
• Education system ideology
• The legal system

12

Literature Review

The following are the sustainable technology approaches that a community uses to create cost-effective solutions and environmentally responsible behavior:

• Powering data centers employing renewable energy sources
• Adopting thin clients instead of personal computers since they use less energy
• Scaling back on digital waste from antiquated computer systems
• Optimizing the energy use in data centers
• Executing numerous operating systems on a same server through the use of virtualization
• Construct a strategy and policy for sustainable ICT
• Recycling Technology Components
• Purchasing of energy-certified machinery

​

13

Literature Review

Like many other developing countries, Bangladesh also established a national data center located in Bangabandhu Hi-Tech City, Kaliakoir, Joydebpur which is the world's 7th largest data center.

Literature Review

• Utilizing the vast computational capacity offered by cloud computing, it is essential to process the enormous amount of data that is generated constantly
• For operating the virtual datacenters required a large amount of energy
• Cloud computing harms the environment by discharging several hazardous chemicals, such as carbon dioxide
• There seems to be a lot of energy burned and inefficiently used.

​

​

17

Literature Review

• Throughout its lifespan, a significant number of processors and resources are used, which generates a lot of heat
• The environmental impact of cloud computing's energy use and carbon emissions is quite significant
• Deploying green cloud computing technologies might contribute to CO2 emissions reduction

​

18

Achieving green cloud computing

Data center Efficiency:

• The use of diesel by the data centers as a backup source of electricity pollutes the environment by releasing a variety of hazardous chemicals, including carbon dioxide.
• Eco-friendly energy providers, such as solar energy, wind energy, etc. should be employed as a backup to address this issue.
• Cloud service providers can boost data center Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). PUE reduction will lead to datacenters that are 40% more energy efficient than the norm

19

Achieving green cloud computing

Green Cloud Computing Framework:

• The recommended Green Cloud framework considers requiring green computing in the cloud storage facilities of the provider.

​

• This design strives to make a Cloud green from both the standpoint of the user and the provider.

21

Achieving green cloud computing

Green Cloud Computing Framework:

​

1. Cloud User:

• User of the service
• Organization install an application
• Client or enterprise that requests a service from a certain cloud service provider's infrastructure

22

Achieving green cloud computing

2. Green mediator:

Energy Monitor Directory:

• Estimates service costs and carbon footprint.
• Provides information on PUE, cooling efficiency, carbon footprint and network costs for each CSP listed in the green mediator.
• Monitors the power consumption of virtual machines and gives the VM manager of CSP with this data to enable optimization and energy-efficient resource allocation.

23

Achieving green cloud computing

Green Directory

• Assist consumers in choosing cloud services with the least amount of carbon footprint

User Request Analyzer

• The cloud client information is requested.
• Analyzes and evaluates the requested services in a response.

​

24

Achieving green cloud computing

3. Cloud Service Provider:

• Participate in the green offer directory by listing their services.
• By implementing a number of strategies, they can improve their infrastructure and lower their carbon impact.
• CSP Monitor and choose which device to turn on or off physically

​

Result and discussion

• The recommended green Cloud framework will be created in a way that will enable it to monitor the total amount of energy used by the data centers of cloud service providers.

​

• This encourages cloud service providers to make their products "Sustainable" so they can provide the subscriber the solutions with the lowest energy demand.

27

Result and discussion

• For every CSP, the green mediator may be developed at the base of the cloud infrastructure.

​

• To maintain the cloud computing platform sustainable and environmentally and effective in terms of CO2 emissions, the proposed framework’s first objective is to establish a set of secure methodologies for continuously measuring the service energy usage in cloud sites.

Research Gaps

In this study, author recommended a framework that to be used in National Data Center of Bangladesh to reduce Carbon footprint from environment through cloud computing. Although the suggested framework has not yet been put into practice, it provides a vision for a new green cloud environment that can enforce and minimize CO2 emissions in order to improve the sustainability of cloud computing

29

Conclusion

• Sustainable computing in cloud computing illustrates how vital it is to protect the environment.
• The resources and machinery employed in cloud computing are utilized effectively by sustainable cloud computing.
• It is important to make efforts so that technology sets an example by reducing its energy consumption in data centers of Bangladesh.
• The adoption of green cloud computing framework will eventually occur across all cloud fields, benefiting both us and the environment of our country.
