85% of data center capacity unused; Akash 95% cheaper
I Moderated A Panel at DCENTRAL Austin 2022 on Decentralized Cloud! (MineYour.₿iz Classic)
“The idea behind [Akash] is to unlock unused capacity — about 85 or so [percent] of global data center capacity is unused. So by enabling those providers to offer their compute in an open, competitive way, we can solve efficiency problems, [and] the outcome is the cost — a cost about 95 percent lower than your traditional cloud. Like last night I was able to deploy an Osmosis validator for seven bucks a month.” — 00:02:52
Context: His panel introduction; adds “when the bear market hits and profitability for node operations is in question, AKT is your best friend.” Quote spans into the [00:03:36] block.
