“ When compared with private data centres or traditional hardware models , the public cloud has far greater capacity for efficiency ,” says Michael Chalmers , MD EMEA at Contino . “ Cloud customers consume 77 % fewer servers , 84 % less power , and reduce carbon emissions by 88 %, according to AWS . Additionally , the scalable nature of the public cloud means that companies avoid over-purchasing and over-powering private systems .”
“ Shifting to a cloud-native operating model , centred around the flexibility and scalability of the cloud , will open the door to a new world of sustainability-led business opportunities , and enable them to innovate and achieve without hurting our planet in the process .”
