METHODS AND APPARATUS TO STORE DATA BASED ON AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF A STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103743 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO STORE DATA BASED ON AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF A STORAGE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for storing data based on the environmental impact of a storage device. The system determines the environmental impact of storing data in different storage devices and selects the most environmentally friendly option for data storage.
- The apparatus includes programmable circuitry to determine the environmental impact of storing data in different storage devices.
- The system selects the storage device with the lowest environmental impact for storing the data.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data centers, cloud storage services, and other storage systems where environmental impact is a concern.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the environmental impact of data storage, helping organizations make more sustainable choices in their storage practices.
Benefits
The system helps reduce the carbon footprint of data storage operations and promotes environmentally friendly practices in the tech industry.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Environmentally Conscious Data Storage Solutions"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be a system that optimizes data storage based on energy efficiency rather than environmental impact.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system determine the environmental impact of different storage devices?
The system likely takes into account factors such as energy consumption, materials used in manufacturing, and end-of-life disposal practices to assess the environmental impact.
What are the specific criteria used to determine the most environmentally friendly storage option?
The system may consider factors such as energy efficiency, recyclability, and carbon emissions associated with the production and use of the storage devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to store data based on an environmental impact of a storage device. an example apparatus to store data, the apparatus includes programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine a first environmental impact associated with storing the data in a first storage device, determine a second environmental impact associated with storing the data in a second storage device, and cause the data to be stored in one of the first storage device or the second storage device based on the first environmental impact and the second environmental impact.
