75-90% of data center capacity is underutilized (2017 supercloud paper)
What is Akash Network? Greg Osuri on Decentralized Cloud Computing | Greg Osuri - Founder of Akash (Genzio)
“After several experiments on Ethereum in 2016, we were convinced that this is possible, so we wrote a paper and published that in 2017 called a decentralized supercloud, and we proposed that there is enormous amounts of underutilized capacity around the world — on an average about 75% of data center capacity that’s active is underutilized, and that’s a conservative estimate; in the reality [it’s] somewhere like 90%.” — 00:02:15
