ABSTRACT
Sustainability, appropriate use of natural
resources and providing a better quality of life for citizens has become a
prerequisite to change the traditional concept of a smart city. A smart city
needs to use latest generation Information Technologies, IT, and hardware to
improve services and data, to offer to create a balanced environment between
the ecosystem and inhabitants. This paper analyses the advantages of using a
private cloud architecture to share hardware and software resources when it is
required. Our case study is Guadalajara, which has seven municipalities and
each one monitor’s air quality. Each municipality has a set of servers to
process information independently and consists of information systems for the
transmission and storage of data with other municipalities. We analysed the
behaviour of the carbon footprint during the years 1999-2013 and we observed a
pattern in each season. Thus our proposal requires municipalities to use a cloud-based
solution that allows managing and consolidating infrastructure to minimize
maintenance costs and electricity consumption to reduce carbon footprint
generated by the city.
