Driven to the increasing focus on sustainable operations many organisations are looking to cloud migration as a solution. The many aspects of a cloud or hybrid strategy are well established but less understood is the environmental benefits. Cloud computing could eliminate a billion metric tons of CO2 emission over the next four years, and possibly more, according to a new IDC forecast. With Microsoft and AWS investing in energy-efficient data centres, cloud computing is set to impact carbon emissions positively. CIOs from various industries share their experiences on how migrating to the cloud has made a difference to the carbon footprint of their organisations.
