Morningstar : AWS Outposts Customer Testimonial
WATCH NOW
Hybrid cloud ’ s work towards sustainability and efficiency goals AWS , like other hybrid cloud providers , is committed to running its business in an efficient way to reduce its impact on the environment . Its scale allows AWS to achieve higher resource utilisation and energy efficiency than the typical on-premises data centre . Studies conducted by analyst firm 451 Research found across several geographic regions that moving on-premises workloads to AWS can lower the workload carbon footprint by nearly 80 % and up to 96 % once AWS is powered with 100 % renewable energy , by 2025 .
AWS ’ infrastructure is 3.6 times more energy efficient than the median of surveyed US enterprise data centres and up to five times more energy efficient than the average European enterprise data centre . Once all of Amazon ’ s renewable energy projects are fully operational , they are expected to provide enough clean energy to power 15.3 million European homes a year .
Tucker explains how for AWS , running our operations sustainably means reducing the amount of water used to cool its data centres . “ AWS will be water positive by 2030 , returning more water to communities than it uses in its direct operations . Our holistic approach minimises both energy and water consumption in our data centre operations and guides the development of our water use strategy for each AWS Region .
