Cost and energy savings powered by AWS Graviton

Our cost and energy saving consultancy offering has been developed for enterprises with existing or planned EC2-based AWS cloud services that want to reduce their operating costs, energy consumption and environmental footprint.

As the world faces the challenges of climate change and environmental sustainability, reducing energy consumption and minimizing carbon footprint have become key priorities for our clients. Capgemini is strongly committed to the United Nations goals and the associated 17 Sustainable Development Goals. As part of the twelfth goal, “Responsible Consumption and Production,” Capgemini is working closely with AWS on the sustainability pillars of the AWS Well-Architectured Framework., AWS has developed a new family of ARM-based processors designed for high performance and lower energy consumption. Switching to AWS Graviton instances can reduce costs by up to 20% and improve performance by 20%, while reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint by 60%.

From strategy to migration and application modernization, Capgemini transforms your business and optimizes your AWS cloud investment.
