Carbon Intelligent Cloud - Driving Sustainable Cloud Operations with TrueCarbon™

Track your workloads down to the most granular level, whether it's individual virtual machines, containers, or specific cloud services. Monitor cost and emissions in real time, use scenario planning to assess impact before changes, and set guardrails for latency, sovereignty policies, and cost to ensure compliance, performance, and sustainability.

Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Real-Time Carbon Visibility, Accurate Reporting, and Actionable Optimization

Carbon-Intelligent Cloud: TrueCarbon™ Features

High-Accuracy Carbon Tracking

Measures actual workload energy use (CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, networking) instead of relying on cost-based estimates.

Emissions Optimized Workload Placement

Automatically shifts workloads to locations with lower emissions and energy costs while maintaining performance and compliance.

Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Visibility

Unifies emissions data from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and private data centers into a single, standardized reporting view

Real-Time Emissions Monitoring

Continuously tracks and reports cloud emissions at the workload level across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.

Enforces carbon budgets, ensures compliance with sustainability targets, and triggers automated remediation when thresholds are exceeded.

Automated Sustainability Policies

Predictive Budgeting & Carbon Forecasting

Uses historical and real-time data to anticipate future emissions and costs, allowing for proactive decision-making.

Scenario Planning & Carbon-Aware Optimization

Models cost vs. carbon trade-offs, helping organizations balance sustainability, cost, and performance when deploying workloads.

GHG Protocol & PACT-Aligned Reporting

Produces audit-ready, verifiable emissions reports aligned with global frameworks for regulatory compliance and ESG transparency.

AI-Driven Cloud & Resource Optimization

Dynamically adjusts resource allocation to minimize waste, optimize performance, and align with sustainability and cost objectives.

Why Carbon Intelligence Matters

In today’s sustainability driven landscape, businesses need more than basic carbon reporting. TrueCarbon™ goes beyond traditional tools, providing real-time emissions tracking, high-accuracy ESG reporting, and carbon-aware workload optimization to support your journey toward net-zero cloud operations.

Digital emissions now account for over 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and with the rapid growth of AI and data-intensive workloads, this number is rising fast. AI workloads, in particular, demand high-performance compute resources that significantly increase energy consumption across cloud and data center environments.

For enterprises running hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, the carbon impact isn’t just an environmental issue, it’s a business-critical challenge. Meeting ESG goals and complying with regulations like CSRD, GHG Protocol, and ISO 14064 is more than a checkbox, it’s essential for risk management, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder trust.

The Reality Check:

  • 85% of companies struggle with accurate carbon data reporting, which undermines ESG initiatives and exposes businesses to regulatory risks.

  • Native cloud tools miss up to 30% of emissions in multi-cloud environments, often overlooking indirect emissions tied to grid energy sources, data transfer, and resource redundancy.

  • Cost ≠ Carbon: The assumption that lower cloud costs equal lower emissions is fundamentally flawed. Cost optimization doesn’t account for factors like data center efficiency, energy sourcing, or carbon intensity of regional grids.

Optimize Cloud Resource Placement with TrueCarbon™

TrueCarbon™ optimizes cloud workloads by dynamically shifting them to regions with the cleanest energy mix, reducing emissions and costs. Our platform understands regional energy variability, ensuring performance and compliance with built-in guardrails for latency, GDPR, and data sovereignty.

Clients have seen up to 35% emissions reductions and 25% cost savings.
