The International Data Corporation (IDC) believes that the development of cloud technologies in the coming years will have a positive impact on the global environment. In particular, we are talking about a significant reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) in atmosphere.
Currently, there is a rapid growth in demand for all kinds of services provided on the basis of cloud platforms. This is facilitated by the digital transformation of the market and the pandemic. So, against the backdrop of the spread of the coronavirus, the demand for distance work and distance learning tools has sharply increased.
IDC predicts cloud development will reduce CO emissions from 2021 to 20242 by more than 1 billion tons. This is explained by the fact that cloud platforms have a higher efficiency in the use of aggregated computing resources compared to conventional enterprise-class IT systems.
In addition, the cloud-based service delivery model allows data centers to be located anywhere in the world. This means that server complexes can be based where there are favorable conditions for the use of renewable energy.
IDC also notes that in 2020, Russian businesses have rethought their attitude to cloud technologies. Large companies began to develop their own cloud strategies, perceiving clouds not only as infrastructure, but also as a platform with ready-made tools for an easier and faster transformation of key business processes.
