Sustainable network refresh

Overview

What is our sustainable network refresh solution?

Sustainability is now a global priority. Citizens, governments, regulatory bodies and organisations large and small recognise the impact carbon emissions are having on the planet – and they want action.

Achieving this can be a significant challenge for global organisations. Capturing emissions data within their own operations alone can be difficult, but the growing focus on measuring, reporting and reducing Scope 3 emissions generated across the wider supply chain adds further complexity. And networks and IT infrastructure are no exception: they’re notoriously energy hungry.

However, what so often holds organisations back is an absence of the tools and expertise to measure, monitor and report on emissions across the network. Without this accurate data as a base, organisations can’t be sure any proposed changes will be effective or worth the investment.

Our new sustainable network refresh solution delivers all the tools organisations need to start reconfiguring their networks for a lower carbon impact. This includes specific solutions for measuring, reducing and monitoring energy performance across an entire network infrastructure.
