Case Study: IBM Montpellier Data Center improves sustainability and application performance with IBM Instana and IBM Turbonomic

How the IBM Montpellier Data Center uses IT automation to advance its sustainability goals

The customer, the IBM Montpellier data center, faced the dual challenge of assuring optimal application performance for its users while also advancing IBM’s corporate goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. To address this, the center implemented solutions from vendor IBM Instana and its partner product, IBM Turbonomic.

The solution from vendor IBM Instana provided monitoring capabilities for demo applications to proactively detect performance risks. Combined with IBM Turbonomic's AI-powered resource recommendations and new sustainable IT dashboards, the team gained visibility into energy consumption and carbon impact. This allowed them to identify power-hungry applications and take direct actions to reduce consumption without sacrificing performance, putting them on the path to operationalizing their sustainability goals.
