Abstract
Abstract The Information and Communications Technology sector produces approximately 2% of the global carbon footprint every year. Estimations show that by the year 2020, this will grow up to 4% if the communication industry continues on this current path, which will be disastrous for the environment and hence the time for change towards green computing is now. Green networking refers to the processes used to optimize networking functions to make it more energy efficient. Datacenter networking infrastructures rely on power hungry devices to operate. This study will explore some modern enabling technologies such as Software Defined Networking, Edge Computing and Virtualization, and how these distinct concepts can fit together to enable more efficient green network solutions. Simulations carried out in a CloudSim testing environment using an energy cost model measure saving from virtualization and Edge technologies in datacenters.
