Eco-friendly Digital Transformation: 3 ways to ensure you go green on your cloud journey
Harnessing the cloud delivers real benefits in terms of efficiency, ease of collaboration, and cost-effectiveness. What many businesses don’t realize is that it can also be a greener solution than on-prem or manual processes.
By making a few intelligent decisions on your digital transformation journey, you can increase the eco-friendliness of your tech.

Digitization of the career path
1. Increase resource efficiency
How much cloud space do you waste? As per this 2020 report by Flexara, companies self-report wastage of as much as 30% of cloud space — which, like many self-reports, may well be an underestimation. Increase efficiency by reducing the amount of cloud space you purchase. The less unnecessary cloud storage you use, the more you save — on money, as well as energy consumed by your cloud computing servers.
In addition to eliminating inactive or unnecessary storage, computing costs and energy consumption can be reduced by specifying expiration dates on data stored on the cloud. Cluttering your storage with ten iterations of a minor job that was completed five years ago is not very efficient! You could also consider turning off your workloads after working hours.
2. Choose green cloud data centers
Large-scale data centers leverage economies of scale to more efficiently manage power consumption, cooling and server utilization rates. Simply moving from discrete units for each enterprise to a large data center has been a major factor in the reduction of CO2 emissions. However, many of these data centers are still using coal for power generation, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
In a March forecast, International Data Corporation estimated that there is potential to save 1.6 billion metric tons of CO2 emissions by 2024, if all data centers were designed for sustainability. Indeed, with the current percentage of green cloud data centers, simply migrating to the cloud, could save 629 million metric tons in the same period.
Whenever possible, investigate the data center infrastructure you are investing in. Opt for green data centers that utilize renewable energy wherever possible.
3. Optimize product efficiency
Develop for mobile
Mobile devices are the future of internet access, so it makes good financial sense to optimize your product to suit smaller devices. It also makes good ecological sense, as smaller devices and screen sizes require less data. Responsive websites can also save energy. Faster loading time, fewer error pages presented and clearer website communication mean that users are on your website for less time to gather the information they need, thus saving battery life.
Optimize for cloud
Don’t just move your workloads to the cloud — optimize them. This doesn’t just save money by reducing network traffic, it also reduces carbon emissions. You can also minimize traffic by reducing the number and size of requests made, by using caching and by dynamically reloading only necessary components. By using caches, the data can be transferred from a local edge server to the user, thus reducing the distance travelled.
The way to increase eco-friendliness of your tech stack is to increase sensitization to green development from top to bottom. Encourage everyone involved in cloud-related decisions to think about how they can do better. And considering green development is cost-effective too, there’s really no downside.

as i was awake in the middle of the night for like 2 hours bc i felt sick i had more somewhat random totk thoughts
one being that i really hate how raurus response to concerned zelda is, after sonia died in that almost funny how little impactful it was way, "im sure you are here for a reason"
(actually, i hate how often this sentence is used in general to .. idk i guess its supposed to be inspiritational???)
bc what does that mean actually? him saying that to someone who got there absolutely by accident really just sounds like "i dont care go figure it out yourself bc i dont want to think about anything concerning you or your troubles lol"
i guess its meant to sound like OOOOH fate has BROUGHT you here bc you have to furfill a role you dont know yet (spoiler its being a sacrifice girl with no personality) and besides me hating the 'inescapable fate' trope in general (at least the way its usually done in these games, which is not to struggle against it but willingly accept whatever you are told and pretend thats good) its really jsut goddamn boring and is really only an excuse to well .. ignore her and her trouble; shouldnt you, if you were actually such a cool guy like the game wants me to believe so bad, do everything in your power to get zelda back to her own world before shes pulled even further into the war you caused now that her only ""mentor"" that could help her get more use of her pretty much useless sudden powers is gone too??
i know shes basically dead wife sonia replacement (can of worms ugh) but it still grinds my gears whenever i think of that cutscene, bc i cant help but hear it as the lamest excuse in existence to not care about her and just kinda .. see what happens which in this case means leave zelda completely on her her own since both rauru and mineru die as well
(honestly shouldnt rauru have thought about like .. any plan to defeat gan besides dying himself, given hes the oh so cool and goodest guy king whos only mistake was not stabbing gan the second he stepped into their kathedral castle thing, like even if you had a plan it can still fail but it seemed like he just kinda went in with a handful of people that didnt seem to know each other at all, never got names or faces -or unique voices for that matter- to fight gan face to face inlcuding the girl that came from a different time and had nothing to do with any of this conflict and couldnt even really control her sudden new powers just seems pretty stupid)
thought 2
how totk really feels like botw but for the people who didnt like shiekah tech, its not a sequel, its botw again, but version of only sonau, its like a pokemon game that had two versions but one has weirdly incoherent story and acts like the other never existed
jsut as a whole its like retreading the same points but worse, all shiekah tech that was so integral to the world and had such a long history just vanishing and no one caring about any of it like it never happened, HELL the titans were called divine beasts in english but i guess they werent divine or important enough to keep around LOL champions WHO and isntead a never before seen or even heard of race for that matter showing up and planting their ass in every place the shiekah were before, dare i say it feels weirdly manipulative, like either them or some outside force erasing every fact about the ancient shiekah and replace them with sonau stuff bc they are the hot new shit now
this is a point that just doesnt stop bothering me, how the shiekah tech seemed so carefully designed and integrated into botws world and story, its a difficult to keep balance after all, integrating high tech stuff into a medieval setting, but they made it work!
and then totk comes around and throws a bunch modern day tech into it puts some vague greenish stone filter on its exterior and call that even better more ancient tech; why did they even bother to make pottery inspired laser shooting spider legged robots so well integrated when they throw a car and rockets into the next game without a thought and call it a day, what was the fucking point
it feels like someone was dead set on having a set of legos thrown into the game it had no place in, if you want players to build whatever they want make a building game instead!! especially if you are just gonna throw it in with seemingly no consideration how out of place it feels togehter with the fACT THAT YOU ALREADY HAD AND ANCIENT HIGH TECH CIVILIZATION WITH A VERY DISTINCT AESTHETIC THAT WAS ALREADY WELL INTEGRATED INTO THE WORLD YOU ARE PLANNING TO REUSE WITH ALOT OF MYSTERY AND UNKOWN STUFF ABOUT THEM TO EXPLORE FURTHER YOU COULD HAVE USED!! but i guess they just "didnt want to play with you anymore" and that so much so that they went out of their way to erase every trace of it, i dont think the words shiekah tech are ever used in the game, and the purah pad and her towers just drive me more isnane bc they are the same shit but called different and also much worse, liek the purah pad isnt some more developed shiekah stone, no its a glorified camera with a teleport function and thats it
(i know i said this before but i really cant stand how obsessed every single NPC is with sonau shit, you get told to your face every second line of dialog that they are so cool and are so mysterious that it just makes me annoyed of them even more, the game is obsessed with shoving them everywhere and telling you over and over you too should obsess over them, they werent weird like that about the shiekah stuff in botw?? the biggesst talking point in botw was calamity ganon ..... which makes sense and in totk its like ... gan is mentioned what, in a newspaper article??? once???and then not even by name i think???)
aside from that big point which will never let me go, its also just .. its not moving forward anything, it actively walks BACK the progress that was made in botw, call me dumb but i dont really count moving one step up in the social roles of each race as a character development (for the side characters like the champions desc- ahem SAGES) but mainly zelda ... god how dirty she was done, totk pretty explicitely makes her regress any development she made in botw aside from she likes link uwu and some people like her too, but also not enough to notice that that weird zelda being all evil and weird isnt her (INLCUDING THE CHAMP- SAGES WHO YOU ARE SUPPOSEDLY FRIENDS WITH??? you dont have to be a genius to pick up on that my god, were you all given the mc dumbo potion or what)
she gets put back to square one, back into the little itty bitty princessy maiden role forced upon her by her royal parentage, this time rauru edition, back into a white little dress, back into the scared puppy eyed teenager, back into a situation she cant handle, back into losing everyone around her (tho honestly botw made me care more about rhoam than totk did about rauru), back into being forced to do a big sacrifice- but worse actually
in botw she went to FIGHT AND HOLD GANON IN THE CASTLE SO LINK HAD TIME TO RECOVER AND IT WOULDNT DESTROY THE LAND!! and you are telling me in totk rauru takes up her botw role and she bascially killed herself to ... restore the mastersword.
......... she ... she did that only to be a glorified version of the stone pedestal in the forest.
and then she gets returned to normal itty bitty girly no problem via magic sparkle beam at the end and
DOESNT
EVEN
REMEMBER.
it really is just botw but worse, you even get yet another ghost king of hyrule to guide you around (rhoam did it better fight me ... we dont talk about the questionable choice to make himself darker skinned when posing as just some guy)
i honestly dont think i was ever truly taken aback by anythign that happened in botw, while in totk, the further i played, the more i had to fight with myself to keep the feeling of unease, disappointment and betrayal down
its such a god damn shame, totk should have stayed a DLC, i will forever mournfully dream of a game that explores more of the ancient shiekah, doesnt erase integral parts of the world, developes characters more instead of making them regress back and make them end up even less developed than at the start of the game, dives into buried secrets and mistakes of dark pages of history without giving into a weirldy nationalist(imperalisitc?) narrative and lets characters have some agency for once
if it werent for the yiga i might have actually considered refunding the game, just to be at peace with myself
anyway, aboslutely incoherent word vomit.

you NEVER need to wait “until you have the money” to start practicing witchcraft. you do not need ANY money for witchcraft. you can have all the money in the world and practice witchcraft every single day without spending a single cent on it. everything you need you already have, inside of you and around you as well.

I'm only 5 years older than my partner but he made me feel so fucking old when I mentioned how I miss the floppy disk noise and he was like
"noise? They made a noise???"
"did- did you not get to use a floppy disk?"
"no!"
"so you don't know anything about c-c-c-cccbrrrrrm-brrrm-br-br-c-c-c-brrrrrrr-brrr-brr-c-c-c???"
"what the fuck are you talking about?????"
I showed him and he agreed it's fucked that modern disks dont make lo-fi glitch music when theyre being read anymore.
A worse similar story:
His 15 year old nephew thought the dial up noise was meme, a meme! like a tiktok sound! He thought the dial up noise was a tiktok sound and I blew this kids mind when I explained that yes you got to hear this noise every single time you booted up the Internet. He didn't even understand "booting it up" or it tying up a phone line while you used it. "That sounds fake" he said.
I'm dying. I'm dying so fast.

Why Your Business Needs Cloud Computing
Still not using cloud computing for your business? Here are 8 reasons why you should get started immediately!
Cloud for Scalability
As your business grows with time, cloud technology helps you easily scale up your computing solutions. If you opt for the cloud, you no longer have to forecast your growth and purchase servers. You can simply alter your plan with your cloud service provider and get your additional space allocated for your use.

What if we told you there are ways to minimize cloud service costs?
Success or failure on the cloud can depend on your Google Cloud Partner. Here are 4 criteria to help you choose right.
Want to scale down? Even that happens in a matter of a few clicks without needing to worry about unused physical server space.
Cloud for Convenience
Cloud computing makes your workspace a flexible one for your employees. Now, they can work from anywhere across the globe and from home. What’s more, employees can also use their own smart devices for work while commuting, while out of town, or from anywhere else with an internet connection.
What’s more, the cloud enables you to better manage your resources and effectively assign roles and permissions to your users. Through automatic configurations, software updates, or server upgrades, your IT efficiency will also be improved in a hassle-free manner.
Cloud for Cost Reduction
With the cloud facilitating remote working and working from any device, your business can run even without an office. Cut down on infrastructure costs usually incurred for owning/renting and maintaining an office space, use of desks, chairs, computers and so on. If the thought of a totally virtual workspace scares you, you could still opt for a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy or let some of your employees work remotely.
With cloud computing, you also cut down on costs needed to purchase expensive systems and equipment for your business and the maintenance of physical servers. A lot of cloud solutions are offered at pay-as-you-go plans and will charge you only for how much you use or specifically what services you avail during a certain period of time. The concept of capital expenditure (CapEx) is now replaced by operational expenditure (OpEx), thanks to the cloud!
Cloud for Secure Storage
You need a place to backup your data and store it safely and the cloud offers you precisely that. And because cloud service providers take care of most security aspects, by simply opting for a reliable IAM solution, you can be assured of a higher level of security for your data without the worry of continuous updations which would be required on local servers.
To know more, you can read our blogs on cloud security threats and cloud security myths.
Cloud for Collaborative Working
There are numerous cloud-based tools that make collaborative working practical and possible across locations. From email, instant messaging, and voice communication, to information sharing and development, event scheduling, and conferencing — cloud computing is making it all possible.
Additionally, a cloud-based workplace will well suited to today’s younger, more tech-savvy generation of the workforce, and is easy for them to integrate into with maximum efficiency.
Cloud for Customer Support
The cloud is not just good for your business and good for your employees, it is good for your customers — and that’s good for
your business!
Make customer-friendly applications, improve your customer support systems, and offer them quality content without burning holes in your pocket.
Cloud for Continuity Beyond Disasters
In the event of a natural calamity or a disaster caused by a fire accident or flooding, businesses that are dependent on on-premise data and servers suffer major losses. Recovering and duplicating these systems is not only expensive and time-consuming, but sometimes they may not be possible at all.
On the other hand, cloud service providers are better equipped to offer effective duplication systems and recovery mechanisms. Moreover, as cloud servers are often scattered across different parts of the world and in environmentally “safe” locations, the likelihood of losing some (or all) of your data is extremely low.
Cloud for Big Data Analytics
Cloud computing does much more than save costs, improve convenience and promote a more productive workspace. If leveraged correctly, the cloud can help you make million-dollar decisions that can change the face of your business. Cloud computing can provide you with solid statistics from masses of data at amazing speed and with great accuracy. In other words, the cloud makes it easier to track and analyze insights and act on them to produce impactful results.
At CloudNow, our expertise in every aspect of cloud technology makes us your ideal partners to harness the power of cloud computing for your business. Cloud now offers comprehensive cloud advisory services powered by enterprise search solutions and helps businesses in the cloud. Get in touch with us today!
