Cloud Computing provides the provision of computational resources on demand via a computer network. Here the term
"cloud" represents to the Internet. The main purpose of the Computer is to store and retrieve the information. As cloud computing
becomes more widespread, the energy consumption of the network and computing resources that underpin the cloud will grow. The main
point related to Cloud Computing is that data centres which are hosting cloud computing applications consume huge amounts of energy,
contributing to high operational costs and carbon footprints to the environment. With energy shortages and global climate change leading
our concerns these days, the power consumption of data centers has become a key issue. So, the main aims of Green Computing is to
reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote recyclability or
biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. The plan towards green IT should include new electronic products and services
with optimum efficiency.

Many governments worldwide have initiated energymanagement
programs, such as Energy Star, an
international standard for energy-efficient electronic
equipment that was created by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 and has now
been adopted by several other countries. Energy Star
reduces the amount of energy consumed by a product by
automatically switching it into "sleep" mode when not in
use or reducing the amount of power used by a product
when in "standby" mode. Surprisingly, standby "leaking,"
the electricity consumed by appliances when they are
switched off, can represent as much as 12 percent of a
typical household's electricity consumption.
