Technology powers modern business—but it also quietly contributes to one of the biggest sustainability challenges of our era. While cloud, data, and devices may feel weightless, the infrastructure behind them consumes enormous amounts of energy and drives significant carbon emissions.
The scale is startling:
Cryptocurrency mining alone uses up to 2.3% of U.S. electricity output—equivalent to the power consumption of entire nations.
Cloud computing now produces more global carbon emissions than aviation, making digital infrastructure one of the most overlooked contributors to climate change.
The digital world may be invisible, but its environmental impact isn’t.
At Clear Visibility, we believe sustainable IT shouldn’t be difficult, expensive, or theoretical. With the right data, organisations can cut waste, lower costs, and reduce carbon output—quickly and efficiently.
Smarter Technology Decisions Start with Better Visibility
Clear Visibility gives organisations automated insight into device usage, cloud services, and software assets—highlighting where money and energy are being wasted, and how to fix it.
Here’s how we help businesses reduce both operational spend and environmental impact:
1. Reduce Cloud Waste with Azure Optimisation
The challenge: Unused or underutilised cloud resources quietly run up bills and burn unnecessary energy.
Our solution:
Clear Visibility’s Azure Report identifies:
Idle virtual machines
Forgotten servers and disks
Under-utilised cloud capacity
So you can switch off or resize services and instantly cut cloud spend and associated carbon emissions.
Result: Lower energy footprint and tangible monthly savings.
2. Reduce Data Sprawl with SharePoint Insights
The challenge: Uncontrolled SharePoint growth leads to huge storage demand—driving up costs and emissions.
Our solution:
Our SharePoint optimisation report pinpoints:
Unused sites
Rarely accessed files
Storage hotspots
This allows your team to archive, rationalise or delete redundant data, reducing storage needs and environmental impact.
Result: Cleaner, faster collaboration with lower cloud energy consumption.
3. Lower Device Energy Usage with Automated Hardware Insights
The challenge: Outdated hardware consumes more power and contributes to higher carbon emissions.
Our solution:
Our Device Energy Report identifies:
High-energy-consuming legacy devices
Opportunities for more efficient equipment
Energy-heavy configurations and usage patterns
This helps you modernise your estate while reducing power consumption.
Result: A more energy-efficient device fleet and reduced electricity costs.
Sustainable IT Is Good Business
