        <problem_statement>Enterprises operate thousands of servers and cloud resources that often remain under-utilized, consuming vast amounts of energy and emitting unnecessary carbon dioxide.&#13;
Most organizations have no unified visibility into their digital carbon footprint or automated way to optimize energy use across multi-cloud environments.</problem_statement>
