Cloud tech can cut power usage: Microsoft
New Delhi: Businesses can save upto 30 percent in power cost and carbon emission by moving to the internet based-cloud technology, a Microsoft study today said. "Businesses that choose to run business applications in the cloud can help reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by a net 30 percent or more versus running those same applications on their own infrastructure," Microsoft India Director (Server Business) Pallavi Kathuria told PTI. Cloud computing facilitates sharing of technological resources, software and digital information. The emerging field functions on a pay-per-use model, helping technology companies to bring down their operation costs. These savings are realised because large data centers benefit from economies of scale and operational efficiencies, much more than what separate IT departments can achieve, she added.
