One of the most significant challenges currently facing the human race is global warming and the challenge of fighting this and reaching the state of net zero.

At Nybble, we understand the importance of developing solutions in order to do our bit to save the planet, which is one of the many reasons we strive to set our customers up with cloud computing solutions.

This article will cover how Nybble can help your company reach your ESG (environment, social and governance) goals to reduce your carbon footprint, whilst also maximising your productivity through cloud computing solutions.

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet.

Cloud computing allows organisations to convert large upfront capital costs into small manageable operating costs. This ensures you have convenient, on-demand network access to a broad pool of shared resources. In effect, cloud services:

shorten IT purchasing and IT upgrade cycles,
increase scalability,
allows almost instantaneous change,
promote innovation & collaboration,
frees-up physical space, and resources
connects and enables anytime, anywhere operations.

How Can This Reduce Your Carbon Footprint?

Whilst there are many clear benefits that cloud computing is the most optimal route for your business to follow, it also helps to reduce your carbon footprint as we work together in a quest to become net zero and do our bit to help save the planet.

The first way that cloud computing helps to reduce carbon emissions is that it reduces the amount of energy your IT systems consume. It is estimated that the average cloud data centre uses 50% less electricity than on-premises hosting. Not only is this beneficial for your business and the environment right now, it is also a figure that is rising, ensuring your data centre is becoming more eco-friendly, whilst saving you costs, year upon year.

When setting up a private data centre, companies often have a low utilization rate, as equipment has been purchased and set up in anticipation of usage spikes on the server. With cloud hosting, this is not a problem, as cloud computing consolidates machine use to operate servers at high utilization rates, meaning that you only utilise what is demanded from your server, therefore increasing efficiency and further saving electricity.

A final way that cloud computing can help your business reduce its carbon footprint and strike towards our goal of becoming net zero is through regular cost efficient and more environmentally friendly upgrades. An on-premises, traditional data centre tends to be used for long periods of time before being upgraded or replaced, although when this upgrade does come, it can come at a very large cost for the business, whilst also utilising large amounts of power. Adapting to cloud computing results in regular updates at a much cheaper cost, ensuring that you always have the most up-to-date technology available, whilst also saving costs for your business without having to conduct large installations one time.

As well as saving money through updates of servers, regularly updating your infrastructure through cloud computing will ensure that you stay up to date with the continuous cloud computing energy storage updates. This consequently means that your business infrastructure will be industry leading in how efficiently you are able to operate whilst saving large amounts of electricity, therefore ensuring you are cutting your electricity costs and reducing carbon emissions.
