Open source software app kube-green, which is backed by E2E platform software firm Mia-Platform, is reporting initially positive results thanks to user data provided to developers by early adopters, according to a press release.

Created by Davide Bianchi, senior tech leader at Mia-Platform, kube green can reduce CO2 emissions from data centers by a reported 30% on average. The software is designed to reduce energy waste by cloud computing systems, including E2E infrastructure and digital signage systems, reducing energy use by inactive system clusters.

"In the current situation, with the boom in cloud-based services, people continue to add servers within the IT infrastructure without taking into account their energy consumption," Bianchi said in the release. "With kube-green we want to make our contribution to try to reduce carbon emissions. This comes at a time in history where digitization is bringing about major changes in organizations at a rapid pace, but also has a direct impact on climate and the environment."

"Mia-Platform has supported kube-green with marketing and communication initiatives since the very beginning," Federico Soncini Sessa, CEO at Mia-Platform, said in the release. "The technology we develop today can have a considerable impact on future generations. That's why sustainable development is integrated into all the business decisions we make in the environmental, social and economic spheres: we have a responsibility to choose the path with the least possible impact on the planet."
