cloud servers are seeing a greater percentage of use, leading to better utilization of power (better for the environment)
unused servers are sapping power
Helps remove some of "the load" from IT departments
departments have more resources to chase new innovations
companies can examine larger quanities of market research
initial cost of setting up servers is no longer relavant
