Sustainable multicloud application deployment
We measure and reduce our environmental impact, while giving customers clearer data and more ways to reduce theirs.
As digital experiences and AI-powered applications evolve, infrastructure demands are growing rapidly. Traditional cloud platforms often respond by scaling resources, driving up both costs and emissions.
Upsun takes a different approach, helping teams design and run applications that are more efficient by default, so they can scale sustainably and reduce the environmental footprint of their cloud operations.
Emission reductions depend on many factors, especially the cleanliness of the electricity source. Upsun helps customers take meaningful steps toward sustainability by enabling greener choices.
More transparency. Less energy. Lower emissions.
15xLower emissions
Less CO₂eq with smart region selection, based on IPCC 2014 data and real-time carbon intensity⁴
12xGreater efficiency
More CPU-efficient than AWS EC2 VM -validated by Greenly, 2022²
3%Cost savings
Automatic discount when deploying to an incentive-eligible greener region
Upsun enables lower-emission cloud deployments
We follow a clear framework to reduce environmental impact, by design.
Measure emissions. Increase transparency.
We measure our direct and indirect CO₂e emissions and make cloud emissions data available to customers through the Upsun console.
Optimize for efficiency
Upsun is built for high-density computing, allowing multiple applications to run efficiently on fewer, high-performance servers. This reduces overall cloud resource usage and lowers emissions, without sacrificing performance.
Based on a 2022 efficiency study conducted by Greenly.
Deploy to lower-carbon regions
Infrastructure choice is a powerful lever for reducing your carbon footprint. At Upsun, this is a proven standard: in 2024, 33.7% of Flex organizations prioritized lower-carbon infrastructure by deploying in our greener regions. By selecting a low-carbon grid, you align your architecture with ESG objectives while benefiting from an automatic 3% resource discount.
Education that drives better decisions
Education is a core part of our sustainability approach. We deepen our own understanding of environmental impact, then share those insights with customers and the wider community, so everyone can make more informed decisions.
