Accelerate your journey to carbon neutrality with automation you can trust
What if your applications could help your IT go green?
Even before the war in Ukraine prices of energy commodities — including oil, natural gas and coal — have soared as supply remains tight and demand rebounds from a Covid-induced slowdown. That has contributed to power and fuel shortages from Europe to Asia.
It is likely that you were already committed to reducing your environmental impact regardless of recent world events, but now this desire to do the right thing has also become a business imperative. However many sustainable IT strategies and investments take time to deliver results and you may be concerned they can affect your organisation’s ability to meet business objectives.
You don’t have to compromise between carbon neutrality and application performance. When applications consume only what they need to perform, you can trim costs and materially reduce your carbon footprint immediately and continuously. With full-stack visualisation, IBM® Turbonomic® Application Resource Management (ARM) uses intelligent automation to help you extend efficiencies, scale workloads, and reduce resource waste.
These are some of the figures you can hope to achieve with IBM® Turbonomic®.
