Carbon Footprint

  • The Carbon Footprint page provides summary, system, and workload level metrics for carbon emissions and energy usage. Sustainability has become a key topic in data center infrastructure considerations as companies strive to reach new environmental goals. Infrastructure Observability’s carbon emissions feature gives users insights to make the best sustainability decisions for workload consolidation, IT footprint reduction, and energy-efficient technology refresh.

    Initial products supported include PowerEdge, PowerScale, VxRail, Connectrix, and Unity XT. The top banner provides totals of carbon emissions and energy usage for all systems. Carbon emissions calculations are based on location-specific emission factors provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and industry average Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) values. Users with the Admin role can override these default values by clicking the Settings button.

    Top of the Carbon Footprint page showing aggregated numbers for year to date carbon emissions and the last month and year to date energy usage for all monitored systems.

    The Total Carbon Emissions chart provides a one-year trend of total carbon emissions based on monthly values. The chart can be displayed as a bar chart or a line chart.

    Monthly bar chart showing total carbon emissions for each month for all monitored systems.

    The bottom of the page is a table listing each system, location, YTD energy usage, energy forecast, YTD carbon emissions usage, carbon emissions forecast, and daily power consumption. The system used capacity percentage indicates which systems have available capacity for additional workloads. The filter lets users display systems based on product type, custom tags, site, and location.

    Table showing each system along with year to date energy and carbon emissions, forecasts for energy and carbon emissions, power consumption, and used capacity.

    Clicking the details icon for a system displays seven-day charts for energy consumption and carbon emissions. The actual value is shown along with the historic seasonality (the expected range) that highlights any anomalies or changes in patterns.

    Seven day chart for a single system's energy consumption and carbon emissions along with the expected range for each metric.

    Clicking the Forecast button shows trend and forecast data for each of these charts.

    Thirty day forecast for a single system's energy consumption and carbon emissions. Forecast based on last ninety days of data.
