This IDC Perspective is the second of a two-part series that looks at the technology and the supplier best practices to ensure connectivity transformation becomes a driver of sustainability. As organizations move data and connected applications to the cloud and migrate to faster wireless and software-defined networks, not only is the cost per byte to transport data reduced but also is the energy and environmental impact. "As organizations migrate to faster networks, shift assets to the cloud, and realize the performance advantages of software-defined networking, they will gain inherent benefits of technology that has been delivered by suppliers that embed sustainability as part of their own strategy," commented Paul Hughes, research director and agenda lead, Future of Connectedness at IDC. "Greener, more efficient networks and cloud datacenters running on renewable energy mean lower cost per byte to move data faster, which reduces impact on the environment, while improving agility for the enterprise. The end result is a win-win for the entire ecosystem."
