Green Cloud Computing

Green Cloud Computing

A study by environmental campaign group Global Action Plan into Green Cloud Computing found that IT infrastructure accounts for 10% of the UK's annual energy consumption. This results in the same amount of CO2 emissions given off by airplanes. At Commensus Plc we are committed to reducing our customers’ CO2 footprint and by innovating your organisation with Green Cloud Computing we can play a considerable role in lessening the impact of your computing on the environment.

The Environmental Benefits of Cloud Computing
 
With Cloud Computing, services run on our infrastructure platform, so there is no need for separate physical computers to serve your traffic. This allows us to run at high utilisation knowing that not all of your users will be using the service at once. You can do the same amount of work on fewer computers by having higher utilisation, saving on the environmental cost of building those computers. Furthermore, with fewer computers serving more users, power consumption and your green CO2 footprint is reduced.
 
The centralisation of your IT infrastructure into Cloud Computing also creates flexibility. You only pay for the resources you use and you can build your own virtual servers via our web portal, so it’s the perfect way to grow your IT capability. When you need to expand, you won’t need to buy the infrastructure and increase CO2 emissions by way of using more electricity to cool off more computer resources. You can just expand within the Cloud using our pre-built resources, halting an increase in electricity usage at your end. Usage of ready-made resources tailored to your needs helps you reduce on electricity expenses whilst reducing CO2 emissions detrimental to the environment.
 
Green Cloud computing also creates green employees by allowing them to telecommute. This garners large savings whilst contributing heavily to environmentally friendly green computing. Your employees can access your Cloud from any corner of the world whilst working from home. This means avoiding the use of transport and fuel, saving money whilst reducing CO2 emissions at the same time.
