A sustainable alternative to on-premises systems
Salesforce.com’s cloud computing model has a much smaller environmental footprint than traditional IT hardware and software. By sharing computing resources among a large number of customers–over 100,000 in our case–you gain enormous economies of scale, especially when it comes to carbon and energy consumption.

64% more efficient than private clouds
Lots of companies are talking about clouds. But if you’re still buying hardware and going through painful upgrades, you’ve bought a private cloud. Whether it runs in a data center, uses virtualization technology, or is hosted, you’re missing the opportunity to be 64% more energy efficient with a real cloud computing solution.
How do we do it? One word: multitenancy.
Salesforce.com’s multitenant architecture is essentially a shared utility, so we can optimize computing resources across all our customers. While a traditional single-tenant application requires a dedicated set of resources to fulfill the needs of just one department or organization or company, a multitenant application uses the same amount of resources to satisfy the needs of multiple “tenants.” The result: incredible savings.
