IT Energy & Workload Optimisation
Measure the watts, cut the waste and verify the savings across data centre, cloud and endpoints.
Engineering-led tuning of the enterprise estate — right-sizing, setpoint optimisation, workload consolidation, carbon-aware scheduling, cloud FinOps and GreenOps and endpoint policies — delivered through assessment, design, implementation and lifecycle support with IPMVP-verified savings across data centre, cloud and workplace.
Data centre, cloud and endpoint estates covered under one programme.
Every recommendation quantified in currency and tCO₂e.
M&V approach aligned to IPMVP where included in scope; savings measured against an agreed baseline.
What we deliver
Energy & efficiency assessment
Baseline audit of data centre, edge and workplace energy — PUE, WUE, load profiles, cooling capacity and utilisation telemetry — producing a prioritised opportunity register with quantified estimates and payback.
UPS & cooling right-sizing
Load-profile analysis and modular right-sizing of UPS, CRAC and CRAH systems — removing the losses that come from oversized equipment operating well below its efficient range.
Cooling setpoint optimisation
ASHRAE-aligned setpoint expansion, containment tuning and CFD-guided airflow — estimated savings validated through agreed baselines rather than assumed.
Compute & VM consolidation
Identify idle VMs, stranded servers and low-utilisation clusters across VMware, Nutanix, Hyper-V and Kubernetes — consolidate onto denser, more efficient hosts and retire what is no longer earning its power.
Carbon-aware workload scheduling
Shift flexible batch, analytics and AI workloads to lower-carbon grid windows and lower-PUE regions across Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud — reductions measured against agreed baselines.
Cloud FinOps & GreenOps
Combined cost and carbon optimisation — commitment discounts, right-sizing, autoscaling policy, storage tiering and workload placement decisions guided by both currency and tCO₂e.
Endpoint power management at scale
Sleep, hibernation and after-hours shutdown policies deployed via Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/MECM), Jamf Pro, VMware Workspace ONE and Ivanti Neurons — enforced as policy, measured as kWh saved.
Storage tiering & data reduction
Move cold data to lower-power tiers on NetApp, Pure Storage and Dell PowerStore, enable deduplication and compression and retire orphaned volumes — energy saved and capacity reclaimed.
Power & carbon telemetry
Live kWh, kgCO₂e and cost dashboards per workload, per team and per business unit in Power BI, Grafana and Prometheus — closed-loop feedback so engineers see the impact of their choices.
AI infrastructure capacity planning
Right-sized capacity, power and cooling planning for GPU and AI workloads across NVIDIA, Dell and HPE platforms — avoiding stranded capacity and thermal hotspots as AI adoption accelerates.
Measurement & verification (M&V) reporting
Before-and-after measurement using an IPMVP-aligned M&V approach where included in scope — savings quantified in currency and tCO₂e against an agreed baseline and reviewed on an agreed cadence.
Scheduled optimisation support
Ongoing optimisation delivered under an agreed service scope and schedule — governance, change control, performance reviews and roadmap execution across cloud, data centre and endpoint estates.
Why teams call us
- Utilisation is invisible
Workload, storage and endpoint utilisation is not measured consistently, so waste hides in plain sight across the estate.
- Cloud spend outpaces value
Right-sizing, commitments, storage tiering and autoscaling are inconsistent — cost and carbon both grow faster than workload.
- Setpoints and airflow drift over time
Facilities are commissioned well but drift — containment breaks down, setpoints tighten and PUE deteriorates quietly.
- Savings claims cannot be defended
Optimisation results are reported without a defined baseline or methodology, so CFO and audit challenge them successfully.
Our approach
An energy and workload optimisation lifecycle covering assessment, design, implementation and lifecycle support across data centre, cloud and endpoint estates.
- Assess
Baseline energy, utilisation and cost data across data centre, cloud and endpoints; produce a prioritised opportunity register with estimated savings.
- Design
Define target setpoints, consolidation approach, cloud right-sizing plan, workload-placement policy and endpoint power baseline.
- Implement
Deploy setpoint changes, consolidation waves, cloud policy updates and endpoint power management, staged and reversible.
- Support & Optimise
IPMVP-aligned M&V reporting where included in scope, plus scheduled reviews and roadmap execution under an agreed service scope.
End-to-End IT Integration and Support
From assessment and solution design through implementation, remediation, ongoing support, and lifecycle optimization.
Fix What's Broken — Remediation Sprints
Carbon reporting deadline looming, PUE stuck too high, no baseline for Scope 2/3 IT emissions, or an ESG audit finding open? We run fixed-scope sustainability remediation sprints against a defined outcome.
- Energy, PUE and carbon baseline: metering, data quality and reporting fixes
- Data-centre and workplace energy-optimisation quick wins
- Circular-IT, refurbishment, secure disposal and Scope 3 supply-chain data
Support & Maintenance — AMC-Backed
Run sustainability as a program — continuous carbon accounting, optimisation and reporting under a Jiva managed service.
- Managed carbon and energy reporting aligned to GHG Protocol and ISO 14064
- Quarterly optimisation reviews across data-centre, workplace and cloud
- Circular-IT operations: asset refresh, refurbishment and certified disposal
