摘要: Cloud computing is a new paradigm and it gaining wide popularity due to its benefits including reduced cost, ease of management, increased reliability. In cloud environment, companies or individuals offload their hardware/software/data the cloud, which supported by infrastructure called datacenters. Datacenters consume large amounts electricity operate bring enormous bills operators. Associated carbon emissions from operating datacenters also cause significant negative impact environment. mean time, kind electrical grid, smart emerging. Smart grids enable two way communications between power generators consumers. grid technology brings many salient features help deliver efficiently reliably. There are research efforts addressing either tracks above. Different with them, we consider both focus on cost-aware datacenter management in presence grids. We review recent developments this area article. It involves understanding how operates, where goes datacenters, most importantly, reduce cost and/or environmental when
