Abstract
Carbon footprints are increasing with a huge rate and the IT world is also contributing in this increase. In cloud computing, with the growth of demand for high performance computing infrastructure, number of data centers has increased. To cater the demand of high availability, the data centers are kept running round the clock. This causes high energy consumption and eventually increases in carbon footprints, which is harmful for environment. In addition to this, high energy consumption leads to costlier business. In this paper, a novel architecture for cloud is proposed by introducing an energy-aware service provider layer. The responsibility of this layer is to monitor and control the performance of cloud data centers for reducing energy consumption and carbon footprints. Live migration of virtual machines among physical machines is applied as basic technique for reducing the energy consumption.
