Cloud migration, a sustainability imperative
This thought leadership piece delves into why cloud migration is critical for achieving your sustainability goals. Learn how Atos and AWS help organizations move to a more sustainable, cloud-powered environment.
Cloud migration is not just a technological shift – it’s a sustainability imperative. With the urgency of climate change growing, organizations today must rethink their operations, focusing on both resource use and energy consumption. Relying on outdated, energy-hungry data centers is no longer viable. The future belongs to organizations that understand the cloud’s dual role in modernizing operations and reducing carbon footprints.
Atos and AWS, through their CloudCatalyst program, offer a streamlined solution for cloud migration that prioritizes sustainability. Migrating to cloud environments is the first critical step toward scalability, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
Migrating to the cloud offers an immediate benefit in terms of carbon reduction as well as cost reduction. You can save up to 80% of your carbon footprint today, and as we progress toward 100% renewable energy by 2025, that figure could reach 96%.

The untapped sustainability potential of cloud migration
On-premise data centers have long been known for their inefficiencies. From outdated cooling systems to hardware that consumes far more power than necessary, these setups contribute significantly to a company’s carbon footprint. Cloud platforms like AWS have radically shifted this paradigm by offering shared infrastructure and renewable energy-powered data centers.
AWS estimates that businesses migrating to their cloud can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%, a figure that could rise to 96% by 2025 as more renewable energy is integrated. Migrating to the cloud, therefore, means not only upgrading operational capabilities but also achieving measurable reductions in environmental impact.
For companies like Atos, which reduced emissions by 51% over two years by upgrading their infrastructure, the sustainability benefits are clear. Shared infrastructure and economies of scale allow businesses to leverage renewable energy investments that would be impossible to achieve with on-premise models.
Navigating the sustainability challenges of cloud growth
However, cloud migration isn’t without its challenges. As businesses adopt cloud services, the sheer volume of data being processed and stored continues to skyrocket. Data volumes are projected to more than double from 79 petabytes in 2021 to 180 petabytes by 2025, and the energy required to process this data could offset some of the sustainability gains from cloud adoption.
Without strategic management, cloud usage can become an environmental burden. For instance, data centers in Ireland already account for almost a fifth of the country’s total energy consumption. To mitigate this, businesses must adopt responsible data management and workload optimization strategies, such as data tiering and workload scheduling.

The power of collaboration and innovation for net-zero goals
Achieving sustainability in the cloud requires a collaborative effort between cloud providers and customers. AWS has made significant investments in clean technology through initiatives like the Climate Pledge Fund, committing $2 billion to developing carbon-reducing technologies. On the customer side, businesses must ensure that their use of cloud services is as efficient and sustainable as possible.
The real potential of cloud-driven sustainability emerges when organizations use cloud-based insights to track and reduce carbon emissions across their supply chain, including scope 3 emissions, which constitute the bulk of a company’s carbon output. With tools like the AWS Carbon Footprint Tool, businesses can gain visibility into their emissions data, helping them make smarter, more sustainable decisions that align with their net-zero goals.
Take the lead in sustainability
Sustainability is no longer optional – it’s essential. Cloud migration offers a clear pathway to reducing carbon emissions while achieving operational efficiency. Companies that delay this transition risk not only falling behind in the race to net-zero but also missing out on the significant cost and efficiency benefits that the cloud provides.
The CloudCatalyst program from Atos and AWS offers organizations the tools to transform their infrastructure, slash emissions, and optimize workloads. The time to act is now. Every day spent relying on outdated, energy-inefficient data centers is a missed opportunity to lead in the fight against climate change.
