Software intelligence company
Dynatrace announced the launch of the
Carbon Impact
app to deliver real-time insights into the carbon footprint of an
organization's Dynatrace-monitored hybrid and multicloud ecosystem and
precise answers detailing how to reduce its environmental impact. The
company developed Carbon Impact using the
Dynatrace AppEngine, a new
Dynatrace platform technology
that empowers teams with an easy-to-use, low-code approach to deliver
custom, compliant, and intelligent data-driven apps for boundless
business, development, security, and operations use cases.
Organizations are increasingly prioritizing sustainability as they work
to meet environmental and regulatory requirements. While cloud providers
share carbon footprint data, this only covers individual SaaS services
rather than complete hybrid and multicloud ecosystems. Additionally,
these service-specific insights lack the details teams need to drive
action - for example, which hosts, processes, or applications are
driving consumption. These deficiencies make reporting and compliance
challenging and limit organizations' ability to understand where and how
to optimize their ecosystems to ensure minimal environmental impact.
Dynatrace® Carbon Impact addresses these challenges by
calculating, tracking, and reporting the carbon footprint of
Dynatrace-monitored hybrid and multicloud ecosystems. The Dynatrace
platform leverages Carbon Impact and its Smartscape® topology and dependency mapping to provide process- and app-level details for precise optimization insights.
With guidance from the Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Alliance (SDIA) and leveraging formulas from Cloud Carbon Footprint,
Dynatrace developed the Carbon Impact app to align key consumption
metrics with their contribution to a carbon footprint. Daan Terpstra,
CEO at SDIA said, "Understanding the environmental impact of digital
products and services is vital to taking meaningful steps to reduce it.
Through its precise insights and broad context, Dynatrace Carbon Impact
will allow organizations to better assess and optimize the environmental
footprint of their hybrid and multicloud ecosystems. We are excited to
partner with Dynatrace as we strive for a world with sustainable digital
infrastructure."
Dynatrace partners, including Atos,
a global leader in digital transformation and sustainability, can use
the insights from Carbon Impact to help their customers meet stakeholder
and regulatory requirements. John Van Geel, COO of Digital, Cloud, and
BDS at Atos, said, "We are committed to helping our clients understand
their current digital emissions status, build a roadmap toward emissions
reduction, engage staff around sustainability, and ensure their digital
services underpin their net-zero targets. As a long-term Dynatrace partner
with extensive experience helping customers extract the full value from
the Dynatrace platform through best practice adoption and ITSM
integration, we are excited to bring Dynatrace Carbon Impact to our
joint customers."
Bernd Greifeneder, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Dynatrace,
said, "Understanding and minimizing environmental impact is a critical
component of organizations' strategies as they work to meet the needs
and expectations of their customers, employees, investors, and the
communities in which they operate. With Dynatrace Carbon Impact, our
customers will be empowered with an easy-to-use solution to understand
and optimize the carbon footprint of their cloud ecosystems. By making
this available to all Dynatrace SaaS customers, we believe we can
improve our collective environmental impact."
