挑战
软件开发公司 Softwire 正在寻求一项真正有效的气候政策。他们希望找到能够产生重大影响的干预措施，而不是那些只在理论上听起来不错的干预措施。该公司认识到需要大规模去除二氧化碳，以实现全球净零排放并中和无法切实减少的残留排放。政府间气候变化专门委员会 (IPCC) 估计，到 2050 年，即使实现其雄心勃勃的减排目标，我们也需要每年从大气中去除 100 亿吨二氧化碳。然而，迄今为止，全球仅去除了数千吨二氧化碳。
关于客户
Softwire 是一家致力于做好事情并真正有所作为的软件开发公司。该公司特别关注企业可持续性，并一直在寻找真正有影响力的气候政策。他们认为，很难找到能够产生重大影响的干预措施，而不是那些只在理论上听起来不错的干预措施。为了解决这个问题，Softwire 与碳会计软件公司 Supercritical 合作，以测量和抵消其碳足迹。该公司致力于按照 IPCC 路径减少排放量，到 2050 年实现净零排放，即减少 90% 或更多。
解决方案
Softwire 与碳核算软件公司 Supercritical 合作，测量其 2021 年的碳足迹，探索减排潜力，并通过 590 吨高质量、长期的二氧化碳去除抵消来抵消其足迹。Supercritical 制作了一份足迹报告，涵盖了 Softwire 2021 年的排放量，并详细列出了排放的来源和减排建议。Softwire 抵消了其 2021 年的足迹，再加上 5%，以弥补无法可靠估计的次要来源的未测量排放量。这使他们的总量达到 590 吨二氧化碳当量。他们只购买高质量的长期碳去除抵消，平均价格为每吨二氧化碳封存 170 英镑，涵盖了一系列创新技术：增强风化、生物油封存、直接空气捕获和生物炭。

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
