Abstract
Datacenters are becoming the indispensable infrastructure for supporting the services offered by cloud
computing. Unfortunately, datacenters consume a lot of energy, which currently stands at 3% of global
electrical energy consumption. Consequently, cloud service providers (CSP) experience high operating
costs (in terms of electricity bills), which is, in turn, passed to the cloud users. In addition, there is an
increased emission of carbon dioxide to the environment. Before one embarks on addressing the
problem of energy wastage in a datacenter, it is important to understand the causes of energy wastage
in datacenter servers. In this paper, we elaborate on the concept of cloud computing and virtualization.
Later, we present a survey of the main causes of energy wastage in datacenter servers as well as proposed
solutions to address the problem.
