TECHNOLOGY & METHODOLOGY
Most carbon tools barely reach beyond VMs and basic storage. OxygenIT covers all IaaS and most PaaS services in real time - with actual cloud service models in mind. Make better decisions with trusted data across 45+ services and counting.
At OxygenIT, we’ve developed a proprietary methodology that blends deep technological expertise, advanced data science, and environmental insights. Our approach ensures your IT emissions reporting is accurate, auditable, and actionable—empowering your organization to make informed sustainability decisions.
We analyze the intricate design and operation of container services to capture their unique characteristics. Each service, from AWS ECS to Azure Container Instances, requires detailed modeling of its lifecycle, orchestration, and resource usage.
Our database is continually updated to include hardware components underpinning IaaS and PaaS services. This ensures our calculations are rooted in real-world infrastructure details.
Using usage metrics captured through CSP APIs, we calculate energy consumption at the component level. This granular approach reflects the actual energy impact of each resource.
We estimate emissions using regional Power Usage Effectiveness (PuE) and carbon factors. For embodied carbon, we align with Green Software Foundation standards, ensuring precision in lifecycle emissions reporting.
Our methodology models container-based workloads with DevOps precision — tracking real-time provisioning, orchestration, and resource utilization across cloud environments. This allows for accurate emissions calculation even in dynamic, auto-scaling systems.
We continuously expand service coverage and surface insights that challenge traditional cost-based assumptions.
We maintain dynamic regional PuE and carbon factor values, integrating them into our emissions calculations. This ongoing effort ensures that our estimates remain reliable and aligned with real-world conditions.
We believe in full transparency for our customers. All data sources, values, and calculation steps are available for audit upon request. This ensures you can confidently use OxygenIT results for operational planning, and project forecasting.
Benefit from up to high accuracy in measuring emissions from data center services, ensuring detailed insights.
Achieve up to 95% visibility of IaaS and PaaS carbon emissions, offering a broad scope for accurate reporting.
