Adopt Cloud Computing, Reduce Eco Polluting
As technology develops, computers play a more important role throughout our lives and in the whole world nowadays. Other
than data processing and storage, computers were now widely used in business world especially. It is undeniable thatbusiness operations rely heavily on computers, and is also unavoidable to raise power consumption. According to an article,
it was said that a business with 400 computers would use 260,000 watts energy for maximum usage. Operating eight hours aday in average, the computers would use up to 2,080,000 watts – or in other words 2,080 kilowatts – per day. Besides theenormous energy consumption, carbon dioxide emission is definitely another concern for our environment as kind of consequence. A research found that an estimated amount of 35 million tonnes of carbon dioxide was originated and released to theatmosphere every year. This prodigious emission by computers actually account for 2 percent of the world’s total carbon
dioxide emission.
Though the environmental awareness of public
was raised substantially in recent years, there arestill some falsities in people’s mind. Most people
are under the impression that idle servers orsleeping computers do not require any energy
and thus they prefer to leave their computers
idle rather than switch them off. However, thefact is that even idle devices do help economizing on energy when compared to the operating
ones, they are still consuming power for operational purposes no matter how long the idle
time is. Considering the huge electricity
consumption and carbon dioxide emission
brought by the intensive use of businesscomputers, there is a climbing need for Cloudcomputing as it offers an opportunity to reducesuch pollution, particularly in the businesssector.
When it comes to company expansion, mostcompanies will purchase more equipment suchas computers or other electronic devices.
Purchasing additional infrastructure to cool
down their computer resources will then beinevitable. Infallibly, these facilities will cause
more threats to the environment and aggravatethe situation because of its high consumption of electricity and the great amount of carbon dioxide generated. It seems to bedifficult for companies to balance between meeting their demands on electronic devices and help protecting our environment. In fact, companies can make use of the Cloud, a pre-built resource, to lower computer usage and the demand of coolingcomponents. Cloud computing can be seen as a sharing of resources which aim to achieve coherence and economies of scale
similar to a utility over a specific network.
Adopting Cloud computing services, company can sharply cut down the number of electronic devices including computers,
servers and cooling resources while colleagues are telecommuting. With fewer equipment used, Cloud computing will also
improve server utilization, which is the measurement of the portion of a server’s capacity that an application actively uses. In
this way, it will certainly help drive energy saving and the hazardous carbon emissions will be reduced consequently as well.
All these imply that employing Cloud services can not only save our environment, but can also diminish a company’s expenses
incurred by expansion and energy consumption.
While striving for marvelous Cloud computing service, OneAsia is always attentive to environmental sustainability as anenvironmentally responsible company. With equipments which conform to the latest environmental concepts, the efficiencyof environmental protection was thoroughly enhanced in our service provided for customers. Possessing high-performing
infrastructure, a team of skilled and experienced professionals, OneAsia aims and is confident to provide our customers withtrue on-demand Cloud computing services as a green computing solution in accordance with different business needs.

采用云端运算，减少环境污染现今科技发达，计算机应用亦越趋普遍，对商业界别尤其重要。无论是用作数据存储或事务处理，计算机都获商界广泛应用。商业交易与运作对计算机的依赖是无用置疑的，而这些依赖亦无可避免地增加了能源消耗。有文章指，每400座商用计算机的耗电量可达每小时260,000瓦特，以每天平均运作八小时计算，一天的耗电量高达2,080,000瓦特（即2,080度）。除了这惊人的耗电量数字，值得我们关注的还有紧随而来的二氧
化碳排放量。有调查结果显示，每年有约3500万公吨二氧化碳排放到大气层，由计算机运作释出的庞大排放量就已占全球二氧化碳总排放的百分之二。
纵使市民大众的环保意识在近年渐渐提高，在普遍大众的认知中仍有着一些谬误。大部分人认为备用状态下的处理器和睡眠模式下的计算机是
不需要使用任何能源，以致他们宁可任由计算机处于备用状态而不直接关掉。但事实并不如他们所想的一样，无论备用时间多长，计算机其实仍然处于操作状态，故此备用状态实际上只能为机器减少耗电，而不能完全停止耗电。考虑到商用计算机的密集操作会带来巨大耗电量和二氧化碳排放，商业市场对云计算的需求正大幅上升，希望藉此减少耗电量和碳排放。
大部分企业在扩张业务的时候都会添置更多计算机和其他电子器材，要冷却这些新增的电子产品则必须额外添置冷却设备。这个不停添置器材
的因果关系意味着更大的耗电量和碳排放，到最后只会对环境构成更多威胁。但要在保护环境和扩展规模之间取得平衡，其实并无表面上的困难。由于云计算是种预先建立的资源，可于特定的网络中用作资源共享，企业若采用云计算方案，就能有效降低计算机的使用率和对冷却设备的需求，从而减少能源消耗。
一旦采用云计算服务，员工就能进行远程办公，而企业则能削减计算机、处理器、冷却设备等电子设备的数目。由于减少器材设备数目亦有助
善用处理器，提高处理器使用率，云计算服务将有效节省能源和减少有害的碳排放。换个说法，云计算服务在保护环境的同时，亦能为企业节
省添置器材和能源消耗的开支，一举两得。

重点项目Project Highlight作为一所对环境负责任的企业，亚洲脉络除致力提供卓越云计算服务，亦时刻关注环境可持续性。符合最新环保概念的设备使我们所提供服务
的环境保护效益大大提高。而凭着高绩效的基础建设和富经验的专业团队，亚洲脉络旨在推动环保的同时，向客户提供真正的按需云计算服务订制计划，以配合各种商业需要。

OneAsia Made a Speech in CEPA ForumThe recent CEPA forum in Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre was held by ICT Energy on 15th May, 2012.
Delegates from PRC had interpreted CEPA’s policies on ICT and shared their ideas with representatives of the ICT industry.
Other attendees of IT professional and from management level of the industry were also gathered at the event. Besides, it isa platform for invited companies to share their precious experience of benefiting from CEPA. As one of the sponsors of theevent, OneAsia gave a presentation in the PM section by our Executive Director, Mr. Dominic Wong. The speech highlighted
the challenges that we are facing, the expectations on the government and the opportunities which CEPA brought along forthe industry.
The insufficient land supply, limited manpower and lack of industrial buildings appropriate for revitalization are the majordifficulties we encounter in Hong Kong. At the same time, the application process of value-added telecommunications
service permit in China is so complicated that it caused another barrier for Hong Kong-invested enterprises. It was expected
for the government to draw on the Framework Agreement on Hong Kong/Guangdong Co-operation, adopt a complementary strategy in order to develop regional Cloud computing centre mutually. Benefiting from CEPA, the industry was granted
an opportunity to combine technology and human resources from Hong Kong and Shenzhen, develop a Hong KongShenzhen international Cloud data centre park in the loop area. It will further encourage interactions and innovative developments of the industry between the two cities. At the same time, considering the content of storage and Cloud storage inShenzhen were regulated by the relative authorities in China while servers placed in Hong Kong are able to connect with theinternet worldwide, a park in the loop area would obviously satisfy the China branches of transnational financial institutions
that it will enable them to store data in the China region and to enjoy the price advantage brought by the fully openedtelecommunications market in Hong Kong.

亚洲脉络于CEPA分享会上发表演说由ICT动力主办的《CEPA资讯及通讯科技领域政策解读及机遇经验分享会》已于2012年5月15日假香港会议展览中心举行。业内各资讯科技专家和管理层人员皆于会上聚首一堂，国家代表更为出席人士阐释CEPA资讯及通讯专题政策，并与香港资讯科技界代表交流座谈。是次分享会也邀请了不同企业分享他们受惠于CEPA的宝贵经验。亚洲脉络作为分享会其中一个赞助机构，亦有幸获邀于下午时段作经验分
享，并由执行董事黄德成先生代表演说。分享内容除提出现时的业内难题、还有提及对政府当局的期望和CEPA为业界带来的机遇。
现时香港土地供应不足、人才相对缺乏、也缺少适合活化为数据中心的工厦，加上港资公司在内地申请增值电信服务许可证的程序繁复，业
界在这些难题与挑战下期望政府能利用粤港合作框架，采取互惠互补策略，共同发展区域性的云计算中心。业界能揉合深港两地的科技和人
才资源，于河套地区建立深港国际云数据中心园，从而促进深港双城在深圳河两岸地区的互动和推动两地的创新产业发展，实在有赖相关的CEPA政策。鉴于设置于深圳的云存储装置及云存储内容受国内监管，而置于香港的服务器则可连接国际网络出口，深港国际云数据中心园
既能满足跨国金融机构中国分行数据存储需要放置于国内的要求，又能让企业充分享受香港完全开放的电信市场所带来的价格优势。
