Abstract
Cloud computing has gained a lot of popularity over the past years, to the point where most companies now make use of cloud services in some way. On the surface, cloud computing seems like a great way to offload concerns to the cloud service provider. Such concerns include server management, logistic concerns, and, most importantly for this project, energy consumption and carbon emissions. However, moving carbon emissions from one place to another is not a solution to the global carbon problem. In cooperation with BT Global Services, this project explores the details of carbon emis- sions in multi-tenant data centers, which includes how emissions can be estimated using which measured metrics, who is ultimately responsible for these emissions, and how emissions can be divided across tenants. To this end, a model is created which calculates the total carbon emis- sions for each tenant in a data center. Building on this model, a sustainability report generator presents the information at different levels of detail to the involved stakeholders. Qualities of the resulting sustainability report such as clarity, understandability and auditability are evaluated in collaboration with industrial partners.
