Summary

In this chapter, we examined the crucial role of energy efficiency in data management, highlighting its significance in sustainable green engineering practices. We delved into various techniques for efficient data storage, such as data compression, tiered storage solutions, and data life cycle management, which collectively enhance storage efficiency and reduce energy consumption. These strategies enable businesses to better manage the ever-increasing volumes of data, thereby reducing their environmental impact and operational costs.

We also explored the concept of dark data, emphasizing its hidden energy costs and environmental impacts. Dark data represents stored but unused information that contributes to unnecessary energy use and storage expenses. By implementing strategies to identify and manage dark data, organizations can minimize these hidden costs, further promoting sustainability.

Another focal point of this chapter was sustainable AI model training. We discussed...
