Abstract: Demanding for more computing services in our communities and enterprises has become a necessity with the continuous growth and expansion of organizational data and information, which had led to exponential growth of cloud and storage services. That causes significant increase in power consumption to meet all demands, and further in resulting an environmental impact and increasing pressure on energy sources due to inefficiency. For all of these reasons, it becomes mandatory for Computing Data Centers to follow a green policy and to be extremely conscious of the carbon footprints of their managed services and hosted facilities. This article highlights the importance of achieving green data centers and best practices to green up.
Keywords: green data centers, computing services, communities, power consumption, green policy.
