Cirrus Nexus TrueCarbon empowers organizations to achieve more sustainable cloud computing through continuous, AI-driven recommendations to reduce carbon consumption and optimize cloud spend. Our flagship product TrueCarbon provides an integrated view of your IT carbon footprint across all cloud hosting environments. Real-time resource consumption and energy composition data is analyzed in 5-minute increments, and users are empowered to take action directly in the platform. With the carbon price feature, your organization can integrate sustainability considerations into your business decision-making process. Not only does this drive workload changes to meet sustainability goals, but this also fosters a business shift toward more sustainable infrastructure. TrueCarbon’s optimization engine also identifies and resolves cloud spending inefficiencies, reducing overall cloud spend on the journey to lower emissions.

How it works:

• TrueCarbon calculates and analyzes your cloud carbon footprint with information such as:
• Your Cloud Environment - Workload metadata and usage metrics
• Your Organization Settings - Governance policies, data center region availability, and carbon price
• Your Data Centers - Power usage effectiveness (PUE), location, on-site energy generation, available workload configurations, and underlying hardware
• Global Energy Data - Carbon intensity of electricity consumed in different regions based on the composition of energy sources consumed at different times (e.g. the percentage of energy that comes from coal, oil, gas, and renewables
• TrueCarbon’s robust, interactive reporting tools then provide insights into the costs and direct emissions associated with your application workloads.
• TrueCarbon’s AI identifies the best way to optimize your environment by finding inefficiencies and recommending changes. Recommendations include right sizing deployments, removing unused resources, and relocating workloads to other data centers based on cloud prices, carbon intensities, and clean power requirements. You pick the changes you want, and TrueCarbon executes them for you.
• TrueCarbon continuously adjusts cloud workload configurations to match usage trends based on customer-defined carbon and cost efficiency parameters. Inefficiencies are continuously identified through pattern analysis, and dynamic changes can be automatically implemented.

TrueCarbon helps organizations reduce their cloud spend and carbon emissions and employ carbon-aware computing. It is simple, customizable, and cloud provider-agnostic. As cloud costs grow and pressure for more rigorous emissions reporting and regulation increases, TrueCarbon helps you get ahead of the curve.
