OVHCLOUD has released an updated version of its environmental impact tracker, designed to help users measure emissions associated with their cloud use. The new one builds on its earlier carbon calculator by covering more cloud services and moving to wider metrics above the just output of Purm.
At the start, the tracker works with Baremetal, hosted a private cloud and public cloud Compute Products. Support for public cloud storage and web hosting is expected. Ovhcloud says that the tool now according to the differences in how services are used and the types of infrastructure involved, which helps to improve the accident.
The tracker covers emissions across all three ranges, from production to everyday operation. It also included life cycle data connected with energy and hardware production. This included emissions associated with used electricity, as well as emissions from building and operating infrastructure.
IJO’s third -party review has evaluated the tracker methodology and found it transparent and in line with current procedures.
New features and data distribution
One changed in this version, as the emissions are calculated during use. The application now combines ground-learl averages with electricity security data and provides more lease security reports to users.
It also adds details about emissions bound to re -used or reconstructed hardware. These updates discuss how reconditioning components contribute to the overall track.
Looking forward, the monitoring will be expanded to the incumental environmental indicators, such as the use of water, the impact on the soil and the consumption of resources. After adding, users will be able to see the view of the impact of their infrastructure, not only its emissions.
According to OVHCLOUD, these updates are loved by providing users more data to assess the environmental cost of their infrastructure and, if necessary, add how they have created or operated workload.
The claims and evaluation of sustainability
The update is part of OVHCLOUT’s efforts to offer more measurable data on environmental performance. Ovhcloud has often pointed to its commitment to sustainability, and now supports it with users’ tools.
At the beginning of 2025, OvhCloud was included in 16% of companies in its sector by global S&P on the basis of criteria, such as the use of energy and environmental policy.
The company proposes its own data centers and servers and has long been using water cooling systems to reduce energy consumption. These decisions contribute to a relatively low energy and water and WUE use compared to the industry diameter.
Grégory Lebourg, the Global Environmental Director at OVHCLOUD, said that infrastructure monitoring emissions are now a basic requirement. “We support our customers in understanding and checking their impact,” he said. “Therefore, we continue to improve the environmental impact monitor.”
More updates are expected in the coming months, including support for additional metrics and cloud products.
