Energy-Aware Policies in Ubiquitous Computing Facilities - Cloud Computing with e-Science Applications - page 284

Energy efficiency in the cloud requires that the envisioned optimization
techniques take into account the different layers of the computing paradigm,
as well as the characteristics of the application and processed data. By pro-
viding horizontal and vertical optimization approaches, we can ensure that
the total energy consumption reaches acceptable limits.
In this chapter, we reviewed several alternatives that, as opposed to tradi-
tional approaches, consider the total energy consumption of the whole set of
resources that appear in cloud computing. These techniques provide a multi-
layer approach to tackle the problem of energy consumption and obtain
bigger savings than any previous mechanism.
