Cloudflare Radar shows how the covid in 2020 has changed the #internet traffic and usage | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Today we are launching a dedicated Year In Review page with interactive maps and charts where you can explore what changed on the Internet in 2020. Year In Review is part of Cloudflare Radar.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: always interesting to track internet traffic from the infrastructure providers. Here Cloudflare but also Akamai, etc.

#cloudComputing is greener than in-house: Google DeepMind #AI reduce energy by 40%

#cloudComputing is greener than in-house: Google DeepMind #AI reduce energy by 40% | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

To address this problem, we began applying machine learning two years ago to operate our data centres more efficiently. And over the past few months, DeepMind researchers began working with Google’s data centre team to significantly improve the system’s utility. Using a system of neural networks trained on different operating scenarios and parameters within our data centres, we created a more efficient and adaptive framework to understand data centre dynamics and optimize efficiency.

Farid Mheir's insight:

Google uses artificial intelligence to analyze energy consumption in its data center to improve cooling and reduce energy consumption by 40%.

 

The paper also links to other most interesting links on data center operations including:

 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Energy is the main cost of data center operations so this is great news. Companies should thus use this news to further move their computing to the cloud as large data centers - Google, Amazon, Microsoft and others - are way more efficient than anything even large corporations can do.

 

This is true for energy consumption, and I contend it is also true for many other areas including security and speed of implementation. It is essential that any digital transformation make cloud computing the primary de facto standard over any on-premise operation.
