Abstract
The described technology is generally directed towards reducing the carbon footprint arising from a client's operational workloads performed at a data center. Various embodiments are presented to enable assessment of the client's requirements regarding the workloads performed on digital data stored at one or more data centers. Based thereon, a determination can be made regarding improving the hosting and operation of the workloads to reduce the carbon footprint. The carbon footprint can be reduced based on energy supply to the data center (e.g., fossil fuel versus green energy sources), utilizing newer generation data servers versus older, lower capacity, inefficient data servers, pooling workloads onto a single moderate to high efficiency server, and the like. The determination to reduce the carbon footprint can be performed locally within a data center or globally across a community of data centers.
