Sustainability-Oriented Features of Adobe Edge Delivery Services
- Cloud-Based Architecture: EDS operates as a cloud-native solution, eliminating the need for extensive on-premises infrastructure. This shift reduces the energy consumption of physical servers and data centers.
- Edge Computing and Caching: By leveraging edge computing, EDS caches content closer to end-users, minimizing data travel distances. This approach enhances performance and reduces the energy required for data transmission across networks.
- Optimized Content Delivery: EDS employs prioritized content loading (eager, lazy, delayed) to ensure that only necessary data is transmitted and rendered promptly. This optimization decreases unnecessary data processing and energy usage on both server and client sides.
- Integration with Sustainable Adobe Products: EDS integrates seamlessly with other Adobe solutions like Adobe Document Cloud and Creative Cloud, which have demonstrated significant reductions in environmental impact. For instance, Adobe Document Cloud has been shown to reduce environmental impact by up to 95% compared to traditional paper-based processes
