The folks at Google did a study on energy efficiency and found out that switching to Gmail can be almost 80 times more energy efficient, than running in-house email. Hint – Cloud!
This is because cloud-based services are typically housed in highly efficient data centers that operate at higher server utilization rates and use hardware and software that’s built specifically for the services they provide—conditions that small businesses are rarely able to create on their own.
There’s still a lot to learn about the global impacts of cloud computing, but one thing we can say with certainty: bit for bit, email for email, and video for video, it’s more efficient in the cloud. – Says Google.
Looks like Google is going aggressive recommending cloud based services now.
