Introduction
With rapidly increasing the growth of high speed network over last decades, there is
considering the alarm rise in use of large amount information or data. For purpose of
commercialisation, green cloud computing is becoming delivered as utility on pay as you go
basis. Traditionally, different companies are investing a huge amount or capital and time in the
maintenance of cloud computing because it is rapidly changing the ownership or subscription
approach. At certain point, it may be identified the problem in regards of carbon emission and
global warming. So as this is reason for adopting the green computing concept in which help for
eliminating Co2. The adaptation of Green computing which means that raises significant
questions about current environmental sustainability. Afterwards, it propose that green
computing is one of the best solution in order to reduce the emission of Co3 and always maintain
quality of service performance, availability and responsiveness.
Cloud computing is one of the most popular emerging technology in today’s world. It is
becoming consider as new and promising paradigm which delivers computing as better utility. In
general, it provides the software, data access, storage service and other kind of computation
through internet. Nowadays, it has been rapidly increasing the demand of Sustainable
development so that companies are basically used green computing in which help to use of
power consumption and energy efficiency. This will help for reducing cost and CO2 emission.
The main purpose of green computing is to investigation on the energy efficient system.

Literature review
Cloud Computing and energy usage Model
In this section, it is basically focused on the cloud usage scenario and analyse different
kind of element within cloud and their energy efficiency. There are large amount or data passing
from one device to another through Internet service provider (Xu and Buyya, 2020). Generally, it
should be consider as router, which in turn establish a connection to Gateway routers with
specific cloud datacentre. At that time, each and every computing or network devices that are
directly accessed to server cloud users and contribute to energy consumption.
Figure 1 Cloud Computing and Energy usage Model
Additionally, A specific cloud data center, there are different devices such as electrical device,
which are enough to help in cloud service provider. Sometimes, it is majorly contributor to the
power consumption of a cloud data center.
Feature of Cloud enabling green computing-
It is great concern in the community that use as cloud computing. As a result, it will be
generating a high energy usage by data centers. Moreover, it is implementing as green lining
20

within cloud infrastructure and support for energy consumption. There are different technologies
are new concepts employed by cloud providers. In order to achieve better utilisation and
efficiency than its traditional computing. Whenever, it is comparatively lower carbon emission
which means that expected in cloud computing. It is highly energy efficient infrastructure so as
needed to reduce the IT itself by implement various multi-tenancy.
The key driver of modern technology in term of energy efficient clouds as virtualization.
It allows for companies to improve their energy efficiency and develop as friendly environment.
Another way, Virtualization process is basically representing the logical groups or subset of
computing resources (Shahidinejad, Ghobaei-Arani and Masdari, 2020). As per consideration of
under-utilised sever in form of different virtual machines sharing similar kind of physical server.
These are using by enterprise to gain a high saving in form of management, energy and space.
 Dynamic Provisioning- it is one of the important feature in green computing that support
for maintain or control the entire IT infrastructure. Companies are deploying far as more
infrastructure as per needed. The reason for predicating the accurate demand of time,
guarantee availability of service and maintain certain level of service quality.
 Multi-tenancy- it is one off approach that uses in cloud computing infrastructure and help
reduce the overall energy usage. Sometimes, it is also associated with Co2 emission. At
that time, it applicable as SaaS application that divide sever multiple enterprise on same
infrastructure. It is one of main feature of green computing to reduce the need of extra
infrastructure. It obvious way to efficient in more energy consumption than other
multiple copies of software installed. On the other hand, Multi-tenancy can easily predict
the fluctuation and result in greater energy savings.
 Server Utilization- On-premise infrastructure running the data or information with low
utilisation at certain point. This is because of down up 4-5% of its average utilization.
There are different virtualization technologies, multiple application can be executed or
hosted on same server.
21

Green Cloud Architecture
In the green cloud architecture, multiple users can use cloud service with requests
through a new middleware green broker. These are completely manage a selection of green cloud
provider to server and user request. Therefore, it is easily maintain the Carbon emission directory
in related to energy efficiency of cloud service (Singh, Sinha and Sharma, 2020). Afterwards, A
green broker is easily calculated the Co2 emission of cloud provider and offers as best cloud
services.
Figure 2 Green Cloud
The Green Cloud Framework is basically designed in such manner that it keeps track or monitor
all kind of energy usage of serving a user request. Sometimes, it relies on different components
such as Carbon Emission Directory and green cloud offering. These are becoming consider as
22

one of the important aspect to keep track the efficiency and then provide energy efficiency
solution. Basically, A different users are accessible the cloud through different applications such
as SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. In this way, it can easily handle the process of serving and implement
Green concept.
 SaaS- it provide the different offers in software installation on their specific datacentre or
resources. SaaS provider is basically consider as appropriate model and help to measure
energy efficiency within design, implementation as well as deployment. By consideration
of SaaS in green computing that help for maintain confidential data through energy
efficient storage.
 PaaS- It provide offers in green cloud computing that support for facilitating the
development of application. It ensure that system is properly maintain or control energy
efficiency. That’s why, it is mainly focused on PaaS to measure energy efficiency
benchmarks and then provide the external support (Ahuja and Muthiah, 2021).
Sometimes, Green cloud service provider allow the deployment of user application and
further processed in step by step manner.
 IaaS- it is also another kind of service associated with Green computing which means that
handle the emission of Co2 and also cooling the system with a proper energy efficient
infrastructure. Multiple energy sensors are usually installed in cloud infrastructure so that
it become easily calculate the current energy efficiency. Additionally, some information
is advertised on regular basis by cloud provider in Co2 emission directory. Green
scheduling and essential resource based policies ensure the minimum use of energy
23

Research Methodology and Planning
Research method-
It is defined as an activity that involves finding out, in a less or more systematic ways
(Ngozwana, 2018). Research method can be divided into different types: - Qualitative and
Quantitative research method.
In this research study, investigator will choose qualitative method which gather or collect
relevant information about Green computing. Researcher will use this type of method for
collecting information from previous studies, afterwards it will be used in further study purpose.
Research Philosophy-
It is based on the concept that help in research study for identifying the nature, source and
development type in research project. In the simples way to define as belief, assumption about
relevant information or data. Research philosophy can be divided into different groups:
Pragmatism, positivism, realism and intepretivism.
In research project, researcher will use the Intepretivism philosophy because it can utilise
the interpret element of case study (Mohajan, 2018). By using this philosophy, researcher also
integrated with human interest into case study. Accordingly, interpretive researcher can assume
that access to actual reality and then identifies a proper result or outcome.
Research Approach-
It refers to the plan and procedures that mainly consists of different assumption in regards
of research study. Research approach is relevance of hypotheses to study of different approaches.
In this research study, investigator will select the deductive research approach because there is a
direct connection with existing theory and develop hypotheses. Sometimes, it is also helping to
design an appropriate research strategy to test result or outcome.
Research Strategy-
It is based on the process or method that supports for developing an action plan in which
provide direction to conduct systematic research in proper manner. In context of qualitative,
research will select questionnaires method for gathering or collecting large amount of
24

information or data. Researcher is basically focused on the respondents, who will share their
opinion or idea on the basis of experience. Therefore, scholar can utilise their answer and then
identified the actual result or outcome.
Data collection Method-
It is all about the process or method for collecting huge amount of information or data
from different sources. In order to find the solution for research problem. Afterwards, researcher
can test hypothesis or evaluate the outcome. Basically, data collection method can be categorised
into different ways: - primary data collection and secondary data collection.
In this study, researcher will select the primary data collection by conducting research
through questionnaires, identify the opinion of every respondents towards green computing.
Data Analysis-
it is based on the process or method for performing the suitable tasks such as cleaning,
transforming, modelling the data to discover useful or relevant information in business decision-
making (Zangirolami-Raimundo, Echeimberg and Leone, 2018). The purpose of data analysis is
to extract necessary information from different resource and make an important decision. In this
research study, researcher will conduct as qualitative approach so that they will use as thematic
analysis. This type of method will support for investigator to identify the appropriate result or
outcome.
Ethical Consideration-
Ethical considerations are basically define as one of the important part of research. Each
and every participants should aware about some ethical aspects (Kumar, 2018). During research
analysis, investigator will focus on the important principles related ethical considerations in
project.
 Every research participants should not be subjected to any kind of harmful activities
 Ensuring that all participants should maintain their dignity and respect from other
members.
25

 Participants are maintaining a proper protection or privacy of research and always handle
confidentiality.
 Any kind of deception or exaggeration about the aim and objectives of research. This
type of situation must be avoided in proper manner.
In order to determine ethical considerations aspect of research study in an effective manner. it
will be required for researcher to expand a research analysis.
Project Management Plan
It is based on the formal documentation that defines a how research project is going to be
carried out. Generally, research project manager is mainly outline the scope, goals, budgets and
timeline, deliverables of project (Papke-Shields and Boyer-Wright, 2017). This type of
documentation will support for monitoring the activities of project in step by step manner.
Resources-
In research study, investigator is basically thoughts of all essential equipment’s,
hardware, software requirements, print media, CD-ROM, pencil etc. these are different resources
needed in the research analysis process.
Skills-
Every participants are performed the different assigned roles but needed to have a
suitable skills such as communication, inter-personal skills and other technical skills (Delgado
and et.al., 2018). Therefore, it become easier for gathering a large amount of data or information
through online platform.
Time
In the scope of project management plan, it is all about the allocated the time for research
project. in order to meet all kind of scheduled deliverables and conclude all work by or before
project completion date. The research study will be completed 1-months.

Risk Assessment and Management
Risk assessment refers to the determination of qualitative as well as quantitative value of
risk related to a concrete solution (Holles and Schmidt, 2018). it is always suitable for recognised
threat or risk within research study. Risk assessment involves measuring the actual probability of
risk but in project management, there is specific sole responsibility of project manager.
28

The risk management process will be used in research analysis so that it help for identified
certain kind of risk, threat. At certain level, it would require to follows different steps such as:-
 Identifying the project risk or threat
 Analysing the prioritizing risks
 Developing a response strategy and assume responsibility
 Tracking all risks by reviewing them at milestones
 Controlling or implementing a define strategies
Risk Analysis-
Once project risk and opportunities are identified, analysis will be understand their
overall performance and then determine specific priorities. In order to develop an appropriate
plan and then find accurate response (McClory, Read and Labib, 2017). In this qualitative study,
it will be assessing the probability and potential impact of risk even on the project objectives.
Basically, it is mainly identified the risk in research study such as limited usage of
equipment’s, lack of interest for every research participants, mis-communication, poor data
management etc. these are common risk identified the research study. but afterwards, it will be
categorised on the basis of impact in regards of low, medium and high into different cost,
schedule, scope or quality.
There are different technique or method used to determine the risks. Usually, risk identification
is one of the most common process by which perception of potential issue and then translated
into recorded information or data. Sometimes, it is containing a sufficient about the detailed of
research project and then enable effective assessment of risk. Moreover, it supports for
subsequently management of decisions. Risk or threat will be identified at every level but it is
29

important to the participation of every stakeholders. These are enable to recognise risk at the
time of research analysis. It brings potential risks to attention of project manager.
Conclusion
From above discussion, it has been summarised about the research proposal related to the
green cloud computing in which utilizing energy efficient and develop economically friendly
solution. As per analysis, it has been conducted the project management plan that consists of all
essential resources, budget and time intervals. This help for researcher to investigate about
relevant information in project analysis. Within research study, there is involvement of legal,
ethical, social, security and professional considerations. Discussion on different topic that help
for exploring the specific need or requirement within research project.
One myth about the research study is that increases more understanding towards
conceptual idea, belief and assumption. It take a moral importance only when individual
participate assign a proper finding. Investigator argue that research must be conducted in a
convert manner in which obtained a large amount of data or information. Therefore, it become
easier for researcher to improve understanding towards research topic. But at certain point, it

activities have been increased ethical, social, professional and security issues among different
participants during research analysis.
