Environmental sustainability is increasingly important to organizations, investors, customers, and employees. However, IT leaders have lacked the tools they need to measure, understand, report, and reduce their IT carbon footprints. Sustainability has become a board-level issue, with mandates reaching tech leaders.
Use Cost & Carbon optimization app to track, monitor, and optimize IT energy consumption and carbon footprint. support carbon emissions reduction initiatives and meet regulatory requirements through analytics and recommendations that drive informed optimization decisions at data center, host, architecture, and code levels.
With Cost & Carbon optimization, you can

Before you choose to scale down or turn off a host, you need to understand the business purpose of any running services.
First, determine which process consumes most of the CPU cycles.

Geographic decisions – which data center or cloud location – can have a big impact on carbon emissions, to a large degree dependent on the carbon intensity of electricity.
Carbon Impact helps you evaluate moving workloads to a different – greener – cloud.
