Description

Evaluating Carbon Emissions Savings from Cloud Computing


This IDC Market Perspective evaluates the carbon emissions savings from cloud computing. Increasingly, customers have begun paying attention to environmental footprint when considering purchasing products and services from a company. Many enterprises have also raised their investment efforts in sustainability programs. According to IDC’s 2Q23 Cloud Pulse Survey, cloud buyers indicated an increasing focus on sustainability by having more targets for net-zero goals. As the number of enterprises and individuals relying on digital services continues to increase, the demand for cloud computing resources will continue to grow rapidly.The forecast represented in this document is based on IDC’s Datacenter Trends: Sustainable Datacenter Builds and CO2 Emission program model. “More and more enterprises around the globe consider sustainability not as a ‘nice to have’ but a ‘must have’ for their IT and business operations,” says Olga Yashkova, research manager, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms, and Technologies at IDC. “Due to the economies of scale, access to renewable energy, and investments in innovative technologies, cloud service providers are in a unique position not only to offer sustainable services to their customers but also to help their customers move closer to their own sustainability goals.”

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
