Public Cloud : a strategic choice
for a more sustainable digital world
Sustainable Public Cloud according to OUTSCALE
Did you know that public cloud data centers can be up to 5.1 times lower carbon than traditional enterprise infrastructures ?
In a world where data center consumption cloud triple by 2028, making the right choice of infrastructure has become a strategic issue.
Why is the Public Cloud a Game Changer ?
The IDC study* highlights the major environmental benefits of the public cloud :
5,1
times less carbon emissions
1,9
times more energy efficiency
from 1,5 to 4,9
times more water-efficient
Towards a cleaner and more responsible digital world
Reduced Environmental
Impact
Thanks to their optimized design and architecture, Public Cloud datacenters are up to 5.1x lower carbon, 1.9x more energy efficient, and up to 4.9x more water-efficient than traditional enterprise datacenters.
Cost and Resource Optimization
Migrating an IT load to the Public Cloud allows an annual reduction in energy consumption of 18.3%, or up to 5.3 million kWh saved for a 5 MW datacenter.
