Green Computing and the Quest for Sustainable Solutions

Abstract

The internet of things (IoT) connects devices of all sizes to the internet, providing seamless communication and ease. However, this technical improvement has prompted environmental concerns. Sustainable development has grown as we work to offset the effects of technology on our planet, economy, and consumerism. Innovative companies are exploring technology-based sustainability solutions. Green IT, a developing idea, uses sustainable design to reduce or eliminate IoT operations' environmental implications. This chapter evaluates IoT problems, defines Green IT, explores Green IT design methodologies, and describes how to implement these green designs as sustainable environmental solutions. It also thoroughly analyses numerous author proposals to find the best sustainable IoT architectures. Green IT solutions are essential to a sustainable and ecologically responsible future in a world where information technology is central to our lives, businesses, and marketing tactics.
