Dynatrace commissioned IDED (formerly known as SDIA) to independently review, test, and validate the methodology of the Cost and Carbon Optimization App for estimating greenhouse gas emissions. The report confirms the tool's methodological approach and identifies areas for improvement.
The review examined the assumptions and calculations underlying the Dynatrace Cost and Carbon Optimization App. This app estimates the GHG emissions associated with the use of cloud infrastructure.
The report includes:
Method Review: Evaluation of the assumptions used to convert infrastructure metrics into greenhouse gas emission estimates.
Calculation Validation: Verification of mathematical models against known datasets and industry benchmarks.
Findings: Summary of where the tool performs well and where assumptions could be strengthened.
Recommendations: Specific improvement measures to increase accuracy and better align with emerging carbon accounting standards.
