GREEN CLOUD STRATEGY

(READING TIME 3 MINUTES)

It is widely agreed that the way we live and work is no longer sustainable and unless we tackle the most critical environmental problems, we face a looming crisis. Many companies are looking for immediate changes and sustainability that can reduce their energy costs and CO2 footprint for a better future for the earth and for more business opportunities. Technology, especially cloud infrastructure and systems, can support and accelerate these goals. Cloud, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) provide businesses and people with insights and intelligence to help them work more effectively and efficiently.

CHOOSE A GREEN CLOUD STRATEGY
As the European race to zero carbon emissions encourages companies to commit to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, taking steps to shift to a greener business strategy will be favorably reviewed by end customers and engaged. parties. For the security of companies and locations, the cloud is a green alternative to the so-called legacy systems, i.e. systems with outdated technologies, including physical video recorders.

ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES & ENERGY RECYLING
The use of innovations such as edge-based processing (in-camera) leads to efficiencies that are not possible with legacy systems. The extra bandwidth and related energy required to constantly send data back and forth over a network or power redundant peripherals is avoided when processing takes place on the device itself. Our data centers are constantly striving for their own efficiency. These are already visible in some locations and include the reuse of heat energy given off by servers to heat office space and the use of natural elements, such as cold running water to cool and control systems.

CLEAN & GREENER DATA STORAGE
Instead of multiple organizations managing separate systems in (server) rooms on-premises, the shift to the cloud centralizes data storage in a data center with all the economies of scale that this entails; a greener solution that saves companies time, money and energy.

GET AWAY FROM LEGACY TECHNOLOGIES
Cloud connected devices and systems can be easily upgraded and updated with security patches and firmware updates, moving away from the rip-and-replace approach common to removing and modifying legacy architecture/on-premise VCRs. This ensures that your camera systems are optimally protected against cybercrime risks.

USE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS TO REDUCE COSTS
Moving to the cloud can deliver significant cost savings and simplify scalability to meet changing business needs. Cloud physical security solutions, VSaaS and ACaaS, provide comprehensive security while providing additional insights through data collection and analysis, resulting in operational benefits. In addition, physical security solutions hosted in the cloud offer the option of remote maintenance and management. This reduces the travel costs of technicians traveling to a site and improves productivity. This makes maintenance much more cost effective. This in turn represents value for money for the customer with much faster response times.

SUSTAINABLE AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS
Companies that do not take their responsibility for people and the environment seriously will be left behind. Within the world of physical security, this translates into seeking collaboration with customers and parties who are aware of the impact that business actions can have on the environment while operating ethically.
