Cloud computing has become the new standard for companies on which to run their operations. The rapid increase in the use of cloud technology has made it a major contributor to global carbon emissions, surpassing even the aviation industry. We recognize the urgency and responsibility to find innovative ways to optimize cloud computing and reduce its environmental impact.
