6. Concept of Virtualization Linked to Energy Storage and Green Computing: A Case Study

In broad sense, the concept of virtualization is termed as platform consisting of numerous of virtualized and interconnected systems. In such case, the system hardware in large scale with strong Internet connectivity is linked to virtual machine-based servers with adequate operating systems and deployment of relevant software. In many cases, the platform as a service is having a provision to execute the application in the environment with suitable programming-level platforms. Accordingly, the database in virtual platform is interlinked with the communication network initiating the nodal activities. In this case, each node is termed as single database with individual local database management system. The database management system in this case controls the creation, maintenance, and use of a database. Also it gives permission to conveniently develop databases for other numerous applications. Citing the concept of virtual databases, it may be noted that Windows Azure, Amazon EC2, etc., typically run in virtual platform. Manytimes, it has been observed that the organizations become data-centric and continuously produce large amounts of data along with other commercial information. In such case, the mechanism data stored in the database requires to be managed in proper way. In many cases, the diversities are observed linked to energy systems. So, during accumulation, it is essential to maintain the sequence of storage allocation in energy systems. The concept of green computing links to utilization of resources including computer peripherals in the eco-friendly environment and proper disposal of computing devices. Also implementation of green data centers gives positive support toward designing, coding, and yielding proper utilization of power with minimal consumption of energy. In this work, it is aimed to analyze the mechanisms as well as efficiency of cloud databases in virtual machines and examining feasible solutions. Also it is aimed to exploit the knowledge of database management systems along with mechanisms of virtual storage system to enhance the deployment of databases in the cloud.
