Cloud Infrastructure Sustainability Reporting
Quantify the environmental impact of your cloud consumption
It has become increasingly important for organizations to consider both the cost and environmental impact of their cloud consumption. Whether driven by compliance requirements, social responsibility, or other factors, it’s imperative to quantify the significant sustainability burden of cloud infrastructure. However, with cloud providers only offering summary information, getting granular sustainability data and tying it to your actual usage is challenging.
Measure carbon emissions and power consumption
IBM Cloudability has met these reporting needs by building an advanced, in-house model that analyzes your usage patterns to generate sustainability insights. Considering important factors such as hosting region, utilization of resources, and CPU architecture, the platform delivers sustainability data via two important metrics: Estimated Carbon Emissions (MTCO2e) and Power Consumed (KwH).
With popular services supported, including virtual machines (VMs), managed relational databases, and block storage for AWS, Azure, and GCP, users can leverage these sustainability metrics alongside other cost and usage metrics throughout IBM Cloudability’s comprehensive reports and dashboards.
Track sustainability data down to the team, application, and resource level
IBM Cloudability gives you the flexibility and granularity to apply these metrics to meet your specific sustainability reporting needs. For some stakeholders, this may mean aggregating emissions data for the entire cloud footprint, while for others, it may mean zooming in to the team or application level.
In fact, backed by the rich analytics of the IBM Cloudability platform, users can explore this data at the resource level — identifying the direct responsibility for carbon emissions and power consumption. By curating sustainability dashboards, practitioners can take this a step further, ensuring the most relevant trends and KPI information is readily available across their organization.
