The digital revolution has transformed communication and increased data needs exponentially. This has led to massive data centers that consume vast amounts of energy for computing and cooling. Data centers in the UK account for 2.4-3.1% of national power use, which is increasing as new centers are built. However, power is expensive and carbon emissions fuel climate change. Some major tech companies like Google and Facebook developed "low road" data centers near renewable energy sources, significantly reducing costs and eliminating carbon emissions compared to traditional centers. However, few other organizations have adopted this approach due to ignorance, lack of availability of low road centers, and resistance to change.sustainable computing

Cloud computing has led to a massive proliferation of data centers worldwide that consume vast amounts of electricity. Data centers only utilize 6-12% of energy for actual computation, with most servers running at low utilization rates. This high level of inefficiency means that the energy wasted by data centers keeping idle machines running and for cooling is as much as 30 times the amount needed for their core functions. Due to poor management practices like running servers at max capacity 24/7, most data centers waste 90% of the energy they draw from the power grid.GREEN_CLOUD_COMPUTING.ppt
