ONE CONNECTED PICTURE
Understand the whole
infrastructure decision.
Where a workload runs is only the beginning. See how compute, connectivity, data and operational control fit together.
Start with your workload
Turn a few clear assumptions into a transparent resource, energy and cost scenario.

The workload comes first.
The cloud choice follows.
A useful plan starts with the decisions that matter: data location, access, performance, resilience and economics.

ENERGY & CAPACITY
Cloud planning starts
with physical infrastructure.
Power, cooling and grid access remain part of the cloud equation. The IEA’s 2025 analysis puts energy requirements in context.
