Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: peak loads
The recent trend of exploring cloud as an alternative, where you only pay for what is used and services can be scaled up and down as per business needs, seems to be gaining ground. It also prevents companies from over provisioning their IT infrastructure for peak loads, which would otherwise remain underutilized most of the time. The advent of and the continuing momentum around the cloud seems to be disruptive and there is skepticism. But the trend seems to be irreversible.

Explanation:
Note that "peak loads" may, but don't always, coincide with particular times of day and they are not the same as "peak times". This is about the load on the system, not the time when it occurs.

neutral  Alain Marsol: As a French, my understanding of "périodes de pointe" remains general and does not make me think of any specific cycle, but just of the (random) time span when the load is high.
1 hr
  -> This is about load, not about time, and "période" is about time.
agree  Daryo: pics de demande - the ST about the maximum capacity needed or available, no matter WHEN in the day / the week / the month / the year it's needed.
2 hrs
  -> Thanks Daryo
agree  Annie Rigler
2 hrs
  -> Thanks Annie
disagree  GILLES MEUNIER: charge de pointe ne veut rien dire en français, désolé.....
3 hrs
  -> J'en ai ajouté des exemples.
disagree  mchd: charge de pointe ne s'utilise pas et les exemples proviennent de sites étrangers traduits de façon aléatoire en français.
4 hrs
  -> Espace RDI (my last example) is in Bas-Rhin, which is part of France, even if it hasn't always been.
