Adopt Cloud Computing For a Greener Tomorrow

In a study conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) to which Google provided financial aid for the study shows that, 86 million U.S workers used 87 % less energy when they shifted to cloud hosting. The amount of energy saved is enough to power Los Angeles for a year. Looking at the current situation of environment cloud computing companies is a boon. The studies considered email, CRM and different productivity software, the common business applications.

The key feature why cloud computing is the instant scalability option for small or big any size of businesses and the kind of flexibility it provides to its users. The propelling factor that gave boost to the cloud servers providing companies are cost, simplicity and flexibility.

Besides these, primarily factors reducing hardware and energy cost is also the driving factor. The reason Cloud Computing Hosting reduces emission are:

  • Dynamic provisioning: To the scale of cloud operation over –provisioning of servers can are very expensive whereas Cloud Service provider can do accommodating server capacity as per demand shifts quickly.
  • Multi-Tenancy: The shared infrastructure lets major cloud service providers with the ability to serve multiple users at simultaneously.
  • Server Utilizations: With the better usage of server cloud computing helps to drive energy saving. The server utilization is the tangible factor of the portion of a servers’ capacity that is being used by an application actively.
  • Datacenter Efficiency- Cloud computing increases the efficiency of the datacenters.
All these factors together contributed towards energy conservation that adds up to and huge amount of energy.
