Literature Review- Impacts of Green Cloud Computing on Environmental Protection

Introduction

The concept of green cloud computing has emerged as a solution to minimize the environmental effect due to cloud computing. The literature review examines the impacts of green cloud computing on environmental protection. The three articles selected for this review investigate specific topics related to the ecological benefits of green cloud computing. One of the articles explores the impacts of urban green spaces on gaseous air pollutants in Tehran, which is relevant as the use of cloud computing can reduce the need for physical data centers that emit pollutants. The second article investigates the factors that affect the eagerness of green business operation in the Iranian banking sector. The third article discusses the economics of green cloud computing and how it can contribute to a sustainable future.

The research articles utilized for this literature review were retrieved from the PROQUEST and EBSCOhost databases in the Monroe College library. Extra information utilized was retrieved from peer reviewed journals, dissertations, publications, and books. These helped to obtain information about how green cloud computing has contributed to environment protection. Newspaper articles and peer-reviewed journals were accessed online using various search engines or through direct entry into the website of the publisher of the newspaper or journal.

Review of Literature

Achieving environmental sustainability

Wibowo and Wells (2016) conducted research to identify how companies are adopting renewable energy sources and the economic benefits of green Cloud. Cloud computing has become popular as more clients require safe storage. Cloud service providers are responsible for providing services while minimizing environmental impact. The researchers reviewed the literature on green Cloud computing at Central Queensland University, Australia. The authors are qualified to write on the topic as they are in the School of Engineering and Technology. The researchers, in 2016, performed the research starting with an introduction background, then the literature review, a discussion of findings, and a conclusion with future direction. The researchers showed that companies could pursue green Cloud computing by considering significant factors like providing dynamic types of energy, multi-tenancy, utilization of servers, and efficiency of data centers.

The literature review boosts the discussion on the costs of various energy sources, the impact of location, and the sustainability of green Cloud energy. The research showed that companies could achieve economic viability by using greener energy sources. Companies should strive to adopt business processes and practices that are more energy-efficient and sustainable to the environment. A green Cloud computing company has a green strategy in aspects like the location of their data centers, the mix of energy of electricity they use, and the consideration of dynamic provisioning.

Implementation of the green management process

Hejri et al. (2022) conducted research on the factors that impact how banks are ready to implement the process of green management. The main purpose for the sturdy was to determine aspects impacting the green business operation. These authors were all from the Islamic Azad University meaning that they were qualified to write the paper. Different sections were used to conduct the research. The research was conducted in the year 2019 in Tehran, Iran.

The researchers began this applied research with a theoretical framework concerning the issue of green technology and how it affects banking businesses in Iran. The researchers reviewed all the documents that were relevant to the topic under study. The applied research involved several books and journals to review the theoretical concepts. The population of 14 industry experts in the fields of information technology (IT), management, and engineering was sampled using purposeful snowball techniques. The authors then used the fuzzy DEMATEL method to make decisions based on paired comparisons. Hejri et al. (2022) found that green awareness is the factor that had the highest impact and interaction of 6.314 on other factors. Green operation is the factor that is most affected by others.

Negative impact associated with green cloud computing

Arghavani et al. (2019) researched the effects of the urban green space on the gaseous air contaminants in the Metropolis area of Tehran. The paper's authors are recognizable people from higher education institutions in Iran and can comfortably publish their study. The use of predefined or green programs for a long time may lead to a negative impact on the quality of air in cities. The authors investigate the alternation of three gaseous air pollutants concentration by certain green scenarios for development. The study was conducted in Iran in the Tehran Metropolis (TM).

The authors did not mention the period within which they conducted the study. The authors looked at the different influences of the urban green development programs on air quality in urban Tehran. The authors looked at the influence of the additional vegetative areas near surface deposition velocities and fluxes. The other elements considered were the concentration of pollutants near the surface, alteration in boundary layer height, and the meteorology variables. Th authors use satellite images to determine how planted areas are distributed across the city.

The authors' research led to several results the prevailing wind direction and speed influence the daily concentration of pollutants. The lower boundary's height and buoyancy result in very low vertical mass transport during the daytime. The winds come in from the west over the city at 18:00 UTC, with a high level of pollutants.

Analysis of Literature

Arghavani et al. (2019) provides numerical evaluation of the impact of urban green spaces on gaseous air pollutants in Tehran using the WRF-Chem model. On the other hand, Hejri et al. (2022) investigates the aspects impacting the readiness of green business operation in the Iranian banking industry. Wibowo and Wells (2016) discusses the economics of green cloud computing and how it can contribute to a sustainable future. The studies have different findings, whereby Arghavani et al. (2019) found that increasing the area of urban green spaces can significantly reduce gaseous air pollutants, Hejri et al. (2022) discovered that there exists a constructive relation between green business operation management and financial performance.

Arghavani et al. (2019) article contributes to a better understanding of the positive impact of urban green spaces on air quality in metropolitan areas. However, it has limited relevance to the topic of green cloud computing. On the other hand, Hejri et al. (2022) provides insights into the aspects that can promote the implementation of green cloud computing in the banking industry. The research's findings can be applied to other sectors as well, making it a valuable source for understanding the potential benefits of green cloud computing. Wibowo and Wells (2016) provides a comprehensive analysis of the environmental benefits of cloud computing, including reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption. The article also evaluates the cost-effectiveness of green cloud computing and provides recommendations for implementing it.

Each article covers a unique aspect of the topic of green cloud computing, with Arghavani et al. (2019) focusing on the impact of urban green spaces on air quality, Hejri et al. (2022) on the factors that affect the adoption of green business process management, and Wibowo and Wells (2016) on the economic and environmental benefits of green cloud computing. However, all three sources share the common goal of promoting sustainable practices and reducing environmental impact. The articles are all appropriate for gaining an understanding of the topic of green cloud computing. However, Arghavani et al. (2019) have limited relevance to the topic. On the other hand, Hejri et al. (2022) and Wibowo and Wells (2016) provide more detailed information on the aspects impacting implementation of green practices and the benefits of green cloud computing.

Literature Review- Block Chain Technologies and Crypto Currency as Financial Assets

Introduction

Block chain technologies and cryptocurrencies have emerged as a new and rapidly evolving field in the world of finance. Cryptocurrencies, in particular, have gained significant attention as a potential new financial asset that could challenge traditional currencies and financial instruments. The performance of cryptocurrencies as an investment, the impact of government cryptocurrency adoption on the economy and financial system, and the effect of blockchain technology on the stock market are the topics that were utilized to collect the data. This literature review will examine three articles that explore various aspects of block chain technologies and cryptocurrencies as financial assets.

The literature review articles were sourced from the Monroe College library's PROQUEST and EBSCOhost databases. Useful supplementary data was obtained from scholarly books, magazines, newspapers, and articles. They aided in the collection of data pertinent to the study of green cloud computing's effects on preserving the natural world. Articles from scholarly publications were retrieved online using a variety of search engines as well as by entering the title directly into the website of the respective publication's publisher.

Review of Literature

The evolving of blockchain technology

Cobert et al. (2018) extensively researched blockchain technology and the essential topics in such markets. The authors come from higher learning institutions like Dublin City University and Trinity College Dublin. The authors present the study in 2018 about the major topic since the development of Bitcoin as a financial asset in 2009 up to 2018. The main areas of the research paper include how blockchain technology has evolved, the developments happening in such markets, and unique issues about such demands. The researchers wanted to analyze various literature surrounding the growth of blockchain markets.

The authors also explain that direct transactions and payments between parties could be at risk of pricing bubbles. Cobert et al. (2018) suppose that this currency could endure the problem of price bubbles because of the recent increase in the price of Bitcoin. The new technology in finance will impact financial regulations because it brings forth a new set of currencies that traders will engage in. Companies that diversify to this technology are better positioned to earn returns as their income is also diversified. The authors suggest that Bitcoin technology consumes more energy in the present than before. Other studies indicate that bitcoin technology only consumes a little power since mining costs exceed revenue.

Minimization of risks

Masoomzadeh and Salmani (2022) presume that all other research in the past has been focusing in the risks of stock exchange. They put effort in explaining the relationship between blockchain and the market of stock exchange. Masoomzadeh and Salmani (2022) determine that the technology of blockchain could indeed be used to control several risks that arise in the stock market. The researchers, who are also members of Tabriz University, are qualified for such kind of research. These researchers embarked on research in the year 2021 in Iran.

           The authors used applied research to find and fulfill the purpose of the study. The analytical part of the research explained the analysis of various findings. Masoomzadeh and Salmani (2022) made effort to determine whether those companies in the business of stock trade would benefit from the improvisation of blockchain techniques, especially in Iran. The study period was between April 2011 to August 2021. The authors use documentaries and library means from the stock exchange of Iran to collect statistics for the research. The results show that the market share negatively affects the total risk. The total risk of the market rises by 0.01% when the market share of the stock rises by 1 percent. The finding of the study showed that the profits that companies can get out of transactions are inversely proportional to the risks that they face. Most importantly, blockchain technology positively influences risk since it increases risk by 0.0002.

Adoption of cryptocurrency strategies

               Mahdavieh (2019) conducted research to analyze the characteristics of kleptocratic regimes and how these attributes help to adopt cryptocurrency strategies of the government. The paper by Mahdavieh (2020) was impactful in showing that developing countries like Iran have suffered a lot from the restrictions of the first world countries like America. The authors were determining whether the national governments are likely to implement new cryptocurrency policies, especially in kleptocratic regimes.

               The research methodology was a complex analysis of statistics to determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The author used Mill’s method of agreement to establish whether attributes lead to the same outcome, thus confirming the correlation. The author also went further to conduct a comparative case study of the three countries. The findings of the study showed that cryptocurrency is initially part of the citizens of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. The citizens of these countries share the attributes of a depreciating currency because of the sanctions from the West. Sanctions from western nations like the US continue to depreciate the value and progress of the economy.

Analysis of Literature

Cobert et al. (2018) provides a comprehensive overview of cryptocurrencies as a financial asset, with a focus on their performance as an investment. The authors review the literature on cryptocurrency pricing, volatility, and correlation with traditional assets such as stocks and bonds. They also analyze the role of macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation, and economic growth in affecting cryptocurrency prices. On the other hand, Mahdavieh (2019) examines the motivations behind these countries' decisions to adopt native cryptocurrencies, as well as the potential benefits and risks of government-issued cryptocurrencies. The authors analyze the economic and political context in each country and discuss the legal and regulatory frameworks governing cryptocurrency adoption. Masoomzadeh and Salmani (2022) examined the effect of blockchain technology on the Iranian stock market and its volatility during the COVID-19 crisis. The researchers give an outline of blockchain technology and its possible applications in the financial field, as well as an analysis of the Iranian stock market before and during the crisis.

The articles have different strengths and limitations. Cobert et al. (2018) article’s strengths include its systematic and comprehensive analysis of the literature, which provides a thorough understanding of the topic. The authors use a quantitative approach and provide statistical evidence to support their arguments, which is different from other articles. However, the article's limitations include its focus solely on cryptocurrencies as an investment, rather than their potential as an intermediary in the exchange. Mahdavieh (2019) article's strengths include its in-depth analysis of the case studies, which provides insight into the potential motivations and outcomes of government cryptocurrency adoption. However, the article's limitations include its focus solely on three countries, which may limit its generalizability to other contexts. Masoomzadeh and Salmani (2022) article's strengths include its focus on the effect of blockchain technology on the stock market, which is a relatively unexplored area of research. The authors also provide an analysis of the Iranian stock market, which may be of interest to scholars and policymakers. However, the article's limitations include its narrow focus on the Iranian stock market and its reliance on secondary data sources.

Cobert et al. (2018) article is suitable for gaining an understanding of the performance of cryptocurrencies as an investment and the factors that affect their prices. Its systematic approach and statistical evidence make it a reliable source for this topic. Mahdavieh (2019) article is suitable for gaining an understanding of the motivations behind government cryptocurrency adoption and the potential benefits and risks of such adoption. Its in-depth case studies make it a valuable source for this topic. Masoomzadeh and Salmani (2022) article is suitable for gaining an understanding of the potential effect of blockchain technology on the stock market and its volatility during crises. Its focus on a specific country and context may limit its generalizability, but its analysis of the Iranian stock market is still valuable.
