Abstract
This paper is an undergraduate level literature review and analysis of research surrounding the Green Data Center phenomenon. Review of work covering energy usage, data usage, usage predictions, and strategies for decreasing energy requirements is the main analysis of this work. The analysis shows that while data centers are becoming greener, the increase in usage of their capacities is negating those efficiency increases. The increase in the energy efficiency of data centers is crucial, however, there must be made efforts to lower computational and data usage to help achieve lower energy usage of data centers.
