substantially minimizes the capital and operation cost of maintaining huge data centers and server farms at user end. In our researches we at length debated on the trends, opportunities, and challenges of cloud computing in Pakistan. The usage of cloud computing is still at embryonic stage in Pakistan
Energy and Environmental Aspects of Data Centers
"... Abstract: Data centers have become an essential operational component of nearly every sector of the economy, and as a result growing consumers of energy and emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Developing strategies for optimizing power usage and reducing the associated life cycle GHG emissions are ..."
