Lloyds Banking Group is working with observability platform Dynatrace to measure the environmental impact of its IT ecosystem.
The UK firm said it would be using Dynatrace’s platform to translate data usage of CPU, memory, and disk into its CO2 (CO2e) metrics.
Dynatrace will also provide the high street banking group with guidance on how to reduce its overall IT carbon footprint.
Observability provides firms with a clear picture of the performance and health of their IT infrastructure. Dynatrace’s technology can provide details on the energy and CO2e consumption per source with filters to help narrow the focus to high-impact areas.
Why businesses are investing in observability
For instance, it can find underutilised areas in a data centre that may be taking up more energy than needed.
Dynatrace and its carbon Impact application will help produce precise optimisation insights, automated tracking capabilities, and offer context processing to “promote a foundation for building green code initiatives.”
Kevin Bird, operational performance and analytics lead at Lloyds Banking Group, said:
“Working with Dynatrace has helped us to assess the visibility and impact of our IT carbon emissions. Our sustainability efforts require deep granularity, and collaborating has allowed us to see where our efforts are most impactful in the context of our broader IT architecture.”
“This helps us identify more meaningful opportunities to optimise our digital infrastructure and will be a critical step forward as we work to reduce our operational sector’s direct carbon emissions by at least 75%.”
