Google uses DeepMind AI to cut data center energy bills

The amount of energy consumed by big data centers has always been a headache for tech companies. Keeping the servers cool as they crunch numbers is such a challenge that Facebook even built one of its facilities on the edge of the Arctic Circle.

The results of this experiment?

2017: Make Time for a Carbon Neutral Cloud

A positive effect of cloud computing on the environment is achieved by servers’ usage optimisation. When moving from local servers to cloud hosted ones, the average server utilization rate is increased from around 15% to approximately between 65% and 75% and up to over 80% for modern large-scale cloud providers. Using fewer servers & therefore less energy, organisations lower their bills and reduce their environmental impact.
