Title A name given to the resource SUSTAINABLE CLOUD COMPUTING THROUGH GREEN NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALISATION (NFV) Subject The topic of the resource cloud computing; cloud infrastructure; data centre sustainability; environmental impact; Green network function visualisation (NFV); virtualisation technologies Description An account of the resource Modern information technology has made cloud computing a cornerstone by providing scalable and flexible services to fulfill the ever-increasing demands of businesses and individuals. However, since data centres use enormous quantities of energy and contribute to rising carbon emissions, the exponential rise of cloud infrastructure has caused serious environmental concerns. This research addresses the environmental issues that traditional cloud computing poses and presents a way forward by incorporating Green Network Function Virtualisation (NFV). A paradigm change towards sustainable alternatives is required due to the traditional cloud data centres increasing energy consumption and carbon impact. The suggested Green NFV strategy utilises the virtualisation technologies to optimise and combine network services, which lowers energy consumption and improves resource efficiency. The goal of this research is to reduce the environmental impact of data centres and increase the ecological sustainability of cloud services by incorporating NFV principles into cloud computing in a seamless manner. This work investigates the effectiveness of Green NFV in reducing the environmental impact of cloud computing through an in-depth analysis and empirical analysis. It assesses the energy efficiency benefits of NFV adoption, taking into account operational sustainability overall, server consolidation, and dynamic resource allocation. The results highlight that Green NFV can help with the environmental issues regarding cloud computing and provide a viable route forward for a more ecologically conscious and sustainable future for digital infrastructure. This research offers significant aspects to experts, policymakers, and industry practitioners who are looking for practical methods to balance the need for environmental sustainability with the rapid expansion of cloud computing. 2024, Scibulcom Ltd..
