Application For Approval Of Research Activity

Since cloud environment does not reside in a capital facility, there is a substantial saving of the time and space. Also, it provides users access only to the resources they need for a particular task. This prevents them from paying for idle computing resources. Besides, there are competing providers for this service and an organization can always shift its business to another company offering better service or lower price. In terms of statistics, we spend $6,000 per month to update software, maintain our computer lab, and pay our employees. However, implementing a cloud computing with a constructing price of $2800 will incur a cost as low as $249 per month (Hinchcliffe 2009).

Participants are going to be recruited from different high schools the Omaha area. Counselors will ask the students who meet the criteria to see if they would like to participate by showing the recruitment

a. Are the demographics of the participants (i.e., background characteristics such as age, race, and so on) described in sufficient detail? Explain.

consent form (IRB#8-15B). The participants were included in the study if 52 they: 1) were 50 years of age

This section deals with the population of the study, the sample-participants, research instruments, and time-schedule for completing the study.

Cloud computing is basically a model based on “pay as you go” that reflects the best business approach for the organization to pay only for the services that are used. Organizations have adopted this approach rapidly due to the attributes of minimal investment, rapid deployment along with cost reduction. Thus, the organizations are free from monitoring and managing the technical issues as it is offered by the service providers. According to Modi, et al. [2], around 91% international organizations have adopted the model of cloud computing for its significant element of cost reduction.

Moving forward 30 years to 1997, is when the term “cloud computing” was first used by information systems professor Ramnath Chillappa. Within a few years, companies began switching from hardware to cloud services; they were attracted to the benefits like the reduction in capital costs as well as an easing in IT staff; the number one benefit being efficiency.

The second research paper discusses about the energy efficiency of mobile clients in cloud computing. The main question identified in this research is what are the critical factors affecting the energy consumption of mobile clients. The research also tries to identify how computation offloading save energy for battery powered devices.

This is basically taken as the total number of people, elements or subjects engaged in the study and pose specific and common characteristics within the study area. This research engaged both the organization’s stakeholders totaling to 150 potential participants.

Abstract—Alongside the healthy development of the Cloud-based technologies across various application deployments, their associated energy consumptions incurred by the excess usage of ICT resources, is one of the serious concerns demanding effective solutions with immediate effect. Effective auto scaling of the Cloud resources in accordance to the incoming user demand and thereby reducing the idle resources is one optimum solution which not only reduces the excess energy consumptions but also helps maintaining

The term ‘cloud computing’ gets tossed around in media and business settings, and while everyone seems to know generally what it is, not everyone is aware of how to use it, much less how to implement it in a safe way that still enables it to provide the full benefits of storing data in the cloud versus storing and managing it on-site. Cloud computing has many benefits for businesses, such as allowing them to store information and be managed by an outside company, which eliminates the cost and effort of a company having to buy servers, install and configure them, and then hire IT staff to continue to maintain them. According to a study of over 1,300 U.S. and U.K. businesses, 88 percent reported that they saved money using cloud services,

ABSTRACT: The operating cost of the data centers can be decreased by reducing the energy consumption. By implementing various allocation policies of virtual machine allocation in cloud computing the total energy consumption can be reduced up to 14% and total monetary energy costs can be lowered by up to 26%.

Abstract: Load balancing is essential for optimization of resources in distributed environments. The major goal of the cloud computing service providers is to use cloud computing resources efficiently to enhance the overall performance. Load balancing in cloud computing environment is a methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers to achieve optimal resource utilization with minimum response time. The proposed system pave the way for the green

Green computing Practices such as how you use, dispose and manufacture computers and computer technologies are only becoming more relevant. As big companies are looking to keep their energy usage and costs as low as possible investing and creating new technologies in green computing can help make computers run more energy efficiently which in turn reduces environmental impact and creates lower energy costs.

Green IT, also called as green computing, is the study and practice of creating, engineering, using, and disposing of electronic devices such as servers, computers, and associated subsystems – like printers, monitors, storage devices, networking, and storage devices, and communications systems –effectively and efficiently with negligible or no impact on the environment. thus, green IT involves software assets, hardware assets, tools, approaches, and practices which can help to enhance and provide environmental sustainability.
