Follow on Google News |  GreenQloud partners with ‘The Supply Chain Cloud’By: GreenQloud GreenQloud eliminates the 3 barriers to cleaner cloud practices: cost, lack of renewable energy, automation and migration hurdles. In fact, GreenQloud is often less expensive because it is powered by green energy. GreenQloud has an abundance of renewable clean energy at its fingertips, tapping into the only 100% renewable energy-powered electrical grid in the world, in Iceland. GreenQloud services such as ComputeQloud™ Powering GreenQloud on renewable energy in cool climates cuts costs for customers and enables businesses to easily manage and monitor data in the cloud without further compounding the CO2 emissions crisis. In addition to live usage monitoring, GreenQloud provides customers with their data’s energy and carbon emissions savings metrics within the GreenQloud console, as well as international CO2 data on WeSaved.GreenQloud.com, which can be incorporated into a company’s sustainability and CSR programs. The mission of ‘The Supply Chain Cloud’ is to demystify the Cloud and address its applications when it comes to Supply Chain Management. Cloud Computing promises to deliver more visibility throughout the supply chain and enable collaboration between all trading partners in the network. However, much of the cloud computing information available today is very generic and does not recognise the fact that different industries will approach and engage with the cloud in different ways. This is especially true of the supply chain where data governance and compliance issues are particularly important as organisations operate in diverse locations globally. ‘The Supply Chain Cloud’ will address the information requirements of the supply chain in regards to cloud computing and how the cloud can be deployed to enhance supply chain visibility. “Without a doubt, the emergence of cloud computing as a delivery model for IT Applications and Services is very exciting and promises to transform the supply chain and how all trading partners collaborate globally. The quest for supply chain visibility means that the supply chain is an ideal industry for the cloud, due to the sheer number of partners and suppliers involved in a multinational supply chain who must collaborate to manufacture and distribute products,” states John Connors, CEO of The Supply Chain Cloud. “As the adoption of cloud services grows exponentially and the infrastructure of business shifts focus to more holistic sustainability audits throughout the supply chain, it is becoming increasingly important to acknowledge our data footprint in terms of energy usage and CO2 emissions,” said Paula Gould, CMO, GreenQloud. “GreenQloud is leading the cloud industry in sustainability by providing compelling, easy-to-use cloud solutions powered on renewable energy, to minimize the overall IT carbon footprint and increasing transparency from the Infrastructure- About GreenQloud GreenQloud offers Truly Green™ cloud computing virtual servers and data storage (IaaS) powered by renewable energy.
