Does the infrastructure minimize the necessary disk volumes (eg: deduplication, compression, ...)?
Precisions
The energy consumption of the storage system depends on the volume of data, on the space required on physical devices, on the ressources needed to handle the data, on the backup processes and on the security and replication systems. Any positive action taken on one of these aspects can reduce the environmental impact of the data.
Use Case
Technical documentation reports data expected reliability and level of redondancy required
