Which metric drives the choice: technical, security, finance, scalability, physical footprint?
Precisions
Different solutions offered by hosting providers generate very different physical equipment allocations and therefore a different environmental footprint. The major point of analysis is the number of servers, the power consumed by the servers, the storage volumes and the power consumed by them. Using powerful servers or storage for a need that does not require their full capacity increases environmental impact.
71. The calculations and tasks are distributed over different dedicated servers depending on the nature of their tasks (data, emails, videos, etc.)
