Carbon Reduction for compute ecosystems
The Energy consumed by IT is now a major operational cost for every organisation. Defra have also reported that on average a company’s ICT equipment consumes, directly and indirectly, 40% of the entire company’s energy bill.
Every Megawatt of power used continuously over a year will cost an organisation approximately £438,000 per annum and produce annually 4,500 tonnes of CO2.
Carbon reduction commitment (CRC) legislation means that many organisations will now have to track and report on their Carbon footprint. With IT accounting for a significant proportion of a companies Carbon footprint, this new service helps a company quantify and reduce its footprint.
Solution and Enterprise Architecture
As an organisation, our specialists come from a technology background. We have worked for blue chip technology companies and consultancy organisations, helping clients define design and deliver their technology solutions. With extensive knowledge of the primary enterprise architecture frameworks including TOGAF and Zachman. We can also work closely with digital organisations in the delivery of agile enterprise architecture supporting an agile development methodology. We have certified against TOGAF 9. And the IBM project management methodologies aligned to PMBOC.
Technology Marketing
Our Technical marketing skills were honed though Enterprise Architecture. Rightly so Business managers and Clients do not necessarily understand the complexity of systems as their skills reside within their business. A good Architect must be able to articulate technology and technical risk in a language which matches the knowledge of the specific stakeholder. Historical Technology has blinded stakeholders with jargon and caused misunderstanding. EA frameworks have focused on tackling these issues and ensuring that all stakeholders understand what they need to know.

Networks make a significant portion of the total energy consumed. Distributed Computer Architectures further push workloads onto the network and cause greater Carbon consumption. We have seen that the effect of increased network loads is being counterbalanced by increased efficiency of routers and switches that are not increasing the overall energy consumption. A network provider such as BT can provide data relating to the energy of your network segments.
