The growing demand of computation, large data storage needed for running a high performance computing enterprise and high dimensional data based web application increases the energy and power consumed by large infrastructure. Cloud computing is providing a solution as part of the Green IT initiative to reduce the adverse environmental impacts and save energy. Our paper describes important metrics of cloud computing which makes it greener. We discuss the various energy models and identify major challenges to build a model for Green Cloud. We also discuss the ways to energy in terms of cloud computing services. Our work surveys the various models and helps understand the road map for a greener cloud.
