Carbon Network Dashboard

Sustainability

Overview

Our Carbon Network Dashboard gives you the ability to optimise your networks and workloads for low carbon operations. It’s built on SevOne drawing in real time power data from your devices and overlaid with grid energy data to drive sustainable decisions.

Why use the Carbon Network Dashboard (CND)?

It’s not always easy to measure the environmental impact of your IT services.

But our Carbon Network Dashboard can help you get there by enabling you to measure, monitor and reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions using near real-time data.

What can BT do for you?

FAQ

The CND is a multivendor platform support Cisco, Meraki, Fortinet, HPE Aruba, Juniper, and Dell. The tool measure the near real-time energy consumptions data of your LAN, WLAN, WAN, SDWAN, Firewall, and Servers. 

We use multiple methodology to extract the near real-time electricity consumption data from the network devices at desired frequency which is overlaid with grid carbon intensity factor to provide the more accurate gross carbon emission reporting for scope 1& scope2. For scope3 we have worked with our partners/vendors to obtain ISO 14040-aligned Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) for embodied emissions.

Yes, you can use the CND only for the BT managed devices or where you can provide the connectivity to the devices in case of non-managed devices. 

Yes, the devices commissioning and decommissioning happen automatically on the CND platform.
