Network-based cloud computing is rapidly expanding as an alternative to
conventional office-based computing. As cloud computing becomes more
widespread, the energy consumption of the network and computing
resources that underpin the cloud will grow. This is happening at a
time when there is increasing attention being paid to the need to
manage energy consumption across the entire information and
communications technology (ICT) sector. While data center energy use has
received much attention recently, there has been less attention paid
to the energy consumption of the transmission and switching networks
that are key to connecting users to the cloud. In this paper, we
present an analysis of energy consumption in cloud computing. The
analysis considers both public and private clouds, and includes energy
consumption in switching and transmission as well as data processing
and data storage. We show that energy consumption in transport and
switching can be a significant percentage of total energy consumption in
cloud computing. Cloud computing can enable more energy-efficient use
of computing power, especially when the computing tasks are of low
intensity or infrequent. However, under some circumstances cloud
computing can consume more energy than conventional computing where
each user performs all computing on their own personal computer (PC
