IDC: cloud computing could prevent 1b tonnes of CO2 emissions

Source:-https://datacentrenews.eu/ IDC predicts that cloud computing could help to prevent more than one billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in the next three years. The reduction is, in part, due to the theory that aggregated compute resources across enterprise and large data centres are more efficient. That efficiency can result in more efficient power capacity, cooling, and server utilisation. While different regions and countries will achieve varying savings levels based on how kilowatts of power generates carbon dioxide emissions,

Cloud Computing Could Eliminate a Billion Metric Tons of CO2 Emission Over the Next Four Years, and Possibly More, According to a New IDC Forecast

Source:-https://www.idc.com/ NEEDHAM, Mass., March 8, 2021 – A new forecast from International Data Corporation (IDC) shows that the continued adoption of cloud computing could prevent the emission of more than 1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from 2021 through 2024. The forecast uses IDC data on server distribution and cloud and on-premises software use along with third-party information on datacenter power usage, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per kilowatt-hour, and emission comparisons of cloud and non-cloud datacenters. A key
