Abstract
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is becoming more important to businesses along with traditional service KPI goals like latency and availability. Customers want to understand and be in control of the carbon footprint of their network services. Through our collaboration with Cisco, we've leveraged the Accedian Skylight platform for observability to develop a platform that correlates service-level carbon utilization with other performance KPIs and network topology. Discover how this innovative platform provides insights that offer potential benefits such as reporting and enabling network automation that is based on policies supportive of sustainability goals.
