As Cloud computing is being adopted widely and usage of internet services is increasing day by day, which gives rise to built large scale data centers. In cloud computing, a lot of research has been done on energy saving programs for reducing the energy consumption of large scale data centers. As large scale data centers consumes large amount of electrical power which affects the operating cost, performance as well as environment. This paper surveys the different energy saving techniques in network, protocols, algorithms and hardware infrastructure for energy- efficient operations.
