由于人们大量使用电子设备，减少温室气体（GHG）排放是ICT领域最具挑战性的研究课题之一。目前的解决方案主要集中在微观层面的有效功耗;很少考虑大规模的能源管理策略。加拿大的低碳、全国性的GreenStar Network使用网络和服务器虚拟化技术，根据可再生能源的可用性在网络节点之间迁移数据中心服务。该网络部署了一个“跟随太阳，跟随风”的优化策略作为虚拟基础设施管理技术。
Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of the most challenging research topics in ICT because of people's overwhelming use of electronic devices. Current solutions focus mainly on efficient power consumption at the micro level; few consider large-scale energy-management strategies. The low-carbon, nationwide GreenStar Network in Canada uses network and server virtualization techniques to migrate data center services among network nodes according to renewable energy availability. The network deploys a "follow the sun, follow the wind" optimization policy as a virtual infrastructure-management technique.
