Green Clouds

Further to our previous post (http://tinyurl.com/5point9Cloud) on Cloud Computing and calculating the Return On Investment (ROI) there is a new study which shows the green impact that cloud can have and further benefits of going to cloud.




The report which has been created by the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) estimates that through cloud computing, there is the potential to reduce global carbon emissions by millions of tons. The report is well worth a read and goes on to show the projected savings that are to be made through cloud computing. 


The research is compelling and reinforces the benefits of cloud computing in a rarely considered angle of the energy consumption and associated cost savings as well as the holistic benefits. As we have mentioned when considering moving to the cloud it is critical to consider these factors when looking at the NPV and ROI calculations.
