Today we live in a world which is full of constraints. Energy consumption is a bottleneck for Information computing and communication. Internet has provided an unlimited potential with access to eBooks, multimedia content, news, new ideas, and information access in general but, due to poor broadband infrastructure and available grid power to support the Internet and ICT growth the, developing regions have actually been left even further behind. The basic requirements in any developing region are a reliable electric power grid, network infrastructure, education, jobs, and a stable government and banking system. Nothing works without the electric and network infrastructure in place. The saddest part is diesel generators are used to power everything instead a stable power grid and the other is most of these countries have tremendous amount of wind or solar energy that can be used in place of imported fossil fuels. Many articles are been released on how Cloud Computing helps the developing world by just lowering ICT costs but, here we introduce Green computing aiming to reduce energy cost and CO2 emissions as well as to effectively reuse and recycle power usage making the world go-green. This paper presents an approach for a low energy use data centers using cloud computing designed for developing regions, powered with renewable energy.
