8. What IT-professionals need to know Energy costs rising Amazon reports: 42% of total budget at data centers is related to power consumption and cooling (5) Doesn´t make fiscal sense to keep something rarely needed running all the time (6)
9. What IT-professionals need to know No carbon footprint from producing new equipment. Little or no upfront cost Telecommuting: Reduce fuel consumption and thus carbon footprint
10. Possible disadvantages Security concerns: - Long term viability- Demand transparency - Real time backup systems Where does the energy come from? 2007: Cloud computing data centers estimated to have used 330 billion kw/h (8)
