PUE 1.2 Scaleway vs industry average 1.59-1.8
Energy mix
100% certified renewable energy (Scaleway)
Storage duration
Actual storage (2-15 days) vs permanent (minimum 3 years)
Comparison method
Comparisons with cloud solutions (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox):
- Permanent storage: 3 years average

- Redundancy: 3-5 copies (vs 1 FileVert)
- Versioning: up to 500 versions (vs 0 FileVert)
Limitations and context
For correct interpretation:
- Comparisons based on average usage
- CO₂ reduction vs permanent storage
- Savings depend on volume and cloud offer
- Metrics measured in real conditions
