les services web Amazon - Can nuage approches comme Azure être décrit comme « écologique » ? -Débordement de pile

I'm responding to a Request for Proposals for a new insurance implementation. In my response I state that the "the elastic approach allows us to scale-down during periods of low demand, thus providing a solution that is not only cost-effective, but also environmentally friendly; there are no servers idling and wasting power at night when demand is low"

My boss quite rightly pointed out that the hardware that ran our scaled back instances is probably still running, therefore are we making a valid point?

So I'm wondering - is 'environmentally friendly' a valid argument for a scalable cloud-based solution? Do Microsoft ever switch off Azure servers when the demand is low?
