DESIGNING SUSTAINABLE DATA CENTERS FOR GREEN COMPUTING
Keywords:
Data centers, Green computing, sustainability, energy efficiencyAbstract
The proliferation of data centers worldwide has raised critical concerns regarding their environmental impact. As demand for computational resources grows, data centers have become significant contributors to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper outlines a conceptual framework for designing sustainable data centers, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy integration, and innovative cooling technologies. The framework emphasizes scalable modular architecture, intelligent workload distribution, and industry collaboration to achieve carbon-neutral and environmentally responsible operations. These strategies aim to align technological advancements with global sustainability goals while addressing pressing environmental challenges.
