SaaS Technology Makes Retailers “Greener”Posted by Donna Tang in SaaS, retail cloud   |
 |
Recently, Chris Thorman posted an interesting blog “SaaS v. On-premises Software: Which One is More Green?” He compared energy consumption of a business before and after they adopted the SaaS system. “That’s a 93% reduction in overall energy consumption,” Chris wrote in his blog.
According to Chris, the energy consumption reduction comes from:
Economies of Scale: businesses dump their own servers and share their software vendor’s server. As more and more users begin to share the server, the average energy consumption of each user decreases dramatically.
On demand computing: computing resources are made available to the user as needed.
93% reduction is a very impressive number, isn’t it?
Actually, in retail field, there are more and more retailers beginning to adopt SaaS based retail management systems. There are a number of reasons why they choose SaaS based retail management systems over traditional ones, including real time reporting. However, few retailers realize that SaaS Technology can make them greener.
Imagine how much energy consumption you can save annually with a SaaS based retail management system! Let your store go green with SaaS technology!

running shoes not even a single blood test can detect HGH, but a series of blood tests administered over many weeks to detect the fluctuations causes by high doses of the stuff. Some folks have pituitary issues that can cause false positives. I spoke with a neurologist in depth on this subject, and he postulates that anywhere from 1 in 10 to 1 in 4 people have some kind of undetected tumor on their pituitary gland. Since that glad is the master control for all your glandsugg outlet, a person can have some really weird hormonal balances, not just hgh, but ANY hormone. So it's all a sticky wicket in that HGH testing isn't a test to detect cheaters that same way polygraphs don't detect lies.

1. Economies of Scale
" in a modern SaaS data center there are economies of scale that enable the software vendor to run many customers on the same server (or small number of servers). The first way they might do this is to develop a 'multi-tenant' architecture. That is, much like many people can share the same apartment building, SaaS customers can share the same software application and server. Extending the analogy, each SaaS user has their own passwords and permissions just like each tenant in an apartment building has their own set of keys.
Running this server in a SaaS data center allows the SaaS EMR vendor to tens or hundreds of customers on one server. When a new customer goes line with the application, the incremental computing requires – an power consumption – increase only marginally."
According to Chris, the business that he observed used to consume 9,408 KW of power each year, now, "only using 131.4 KW (1/100th) of the Dell PowerEdge server energy each year because of the multi-tenant architecture"
2. On-demand computing
