There are a host of IT green benefits using cloud computing.
From a green perspective, as cloud computing gains momentum, the overall carbon footprint of SMEs should decrease considerably.
Bernd Kosch, green IT advisor, Fujitsu Technology Solutions: Among the various green benefits of the cloud computing paradigm, there is one which is exceptionally striking: cloud computing enables small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to take full advantage of very large scale data centre technology, including the latest, most energy-efficient hardware provided in the shortest refresh cycles and leading facility-related infrastructure with advanced power utilisation effectiveness.
And cloud computing also gives organizations a green boost. 64% of organizations say that adopting cloud has helped them reduce waste and lower energy consumption.

Another dark lining in this silver cloud is that cheaper oil and gas will reduce incentives to produce green energies.
With our expansive and resilient network infrastructure, inexpensive green energy, and agile and prosperous business environment, we should be excelling in the field of cloud computing.
