How Can Tailpipe Reduce my Cloud Spend and Carbon Emissions?

15th October 2024

Accurate measurement, efficient reductions. To reduce your cloud spend and carbon emissions, Tailpipe will suggest tailored recommendations based on your organization’s specific cloud usage.

These recommendations are based on four principles:

Reducing costs by using smaller, lower power and less expensive virtual machines where server utilization is low or consolidating computing workloads and turning redundant servers off.
Reducing energy consumption by migrating workloads from older, more energy intensive server hardware to those with more modern and efficient processors.
Lowering the carbon mix of the energy supply by moving the location of the computing services from areas with high carbon intensity to places with lower carbon intensity.
Making sure each service is using the optimal, lowest available pricing from the cloud service provider.

There are seven ways in which these recommendations can be catered to an organization’s specific cloud computing needs:

Implementing Tailpipe’s recommendations can reduce operational cloud costs by up to 25% and carbon emissions by up to 33%. Tailpipe only suggests recommendations that will not compromise an organization’s operational efficiency, so you can be confident that your cloud computing services will continue without interruption, costing your organization less and producing less carbon.
