Aktualne perspektywy zrównoważonego rozwoju w chmurze obliczeniowej: kompleksowy przegląd

Języki publikacji

Abstrakty

Information technology already contains one of the main elements of life, as described by people and enterprises. With the emergence of the Internet and its subsequent availability, there is a digital revolution, the source of which is a reality without mobile devices, web browsers, and instant messengers. In this group, cloud computing plays an increasingly important role, enabling the sharing of more data available via the Internet. At the same time, the increasingly growing awareness of sustainable development and its current role means that this issue has been explored in the context of cloud computing for several years. Therefore, this paper aims to perform a systematic literature review on sustainability issues in cloud computing. The study included scientific publications from two databases - Scopus and Web of Science, and the review itself was based on the PRISMA procedure. After conducting an initial quantitative analysis, a detailed review of the publications was carried out to determine the role and impact of cloud computing sustainability on the areas in which it is used, which constitutes the article's novelty. The obtained results show that, firstly, cloud computing sustainability is an issue that is currently gaining popularity, which is reflected in the growing number of scientific publications. Moreover, it is characterized by various impacts on social and environmental issues, depending on the area in which cloud computing is used. Furthermore, the results show that cloud computing is perceived as one of the main elements of digital transformation.

Technologie informatyczne już od wielu stanowią jeden z głównych elementów życia, zarówno w odniesieniu do ludzi jak i przedsiębiorstw. Wraz z powstaniem Internetu a następnie jego upowszechnieniem, dokonała się rewolucja cyfrowa w efekcie której trudno wyobrazić sobie rzeczywistość bez komputerów, telefonów, przeglądarek internetowych czy komunikatorów. W tej grupie, coraz bardziej znacząca role odgrywa chmura obliczeniowa, umożliwiająca przechowywanie i przetwarzanie dużej ilości danych, które są dostępne za pośrednictwem Internetu. Jednocześnie coraz bardziej rosnąca świadomość odnośnie zrównoważonego rozwoju i jego roli jaką obecnie odgrywa, powoduje, że od kilku lat, kwestia ta eksplorowana jest w kontekście chmury obliczeniowej. Dlatego też celem niniejszego artykułu jest dokonanie systematycznego przeglądu literatur dotyczącego kwestii zrównoważenia w chmurze obliczeniowej. Badanie objęło publikacje naukowe pochodzące z dwoch baz – Scopus and Web of Science, a sam przegląd dokonany został w oparciu o procedurę PRISMA. Po przeprowadzeniu wstępnej analizy ilościowej, dokonano szczegółowego przeglądu publikacji w celu określenia roli i wpływu zrównoważenia chmury obliczeniowej na poszczególne obszary, w których jest ona stosowana co stanowi o nowości artykułu. Uzyskane wyniki pokazują, że po pierwsze zrównoważenie chmury obliczeniowej to zagadnienie, które obecnie zyskuje na popularności, co przejawia się rosnącą liczbą publikacji naukowych. Ponadto charakteryzuje się różnorodnym wpływem na kwestie społeczne i środowiskowe, w zależności od obszaru w jakim chmura obliczeniowa jest stosowana. Ponadto z przeglądu wynika, że chmura obliczeniowa postrzegany jest jako jeden z głównych elementów transformacji cyfrowej.
