Big companies use cloud computing (like renting computer power online) from places like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. A new report shows they often rent way more computer power than they need! This is like ordering 10 pizzas when you only need one.
This wastes a lot of money. It's like leaving the lights on all day! Companies are trying to save money, but it's hard.
The report looked at lots of companies and their cloud usage. It found big problems with wasting resources.
- Companies used only a small part of the computer power they rented.
- This wasted a ton of money on extra computing power.
- Sometimes, even with extra power, programs ran slowly because they didn't have enough memory.
| Problem | Number |
|---|---|
| Percent of computer power used | 10% |
| Percent of memory used | 25% |
| Global cloud market size (in billions) | $330 |
