The Challenge

A major telecommunications provider operated network operations centers supporting 50 million subscribers. Regulatory requirements mandated 99.999% network availability, leading to conservative energy management that prioritized reliability over efficiency. The company's public sustainability commitments required 40% carbon reduction by 2030.

The Solution

Helios implemented network-aware energy optimization that understood the criticality of different systems and adjusted efficiency measures accordingly. The platform deployed predictive maintenance that reduced unplanned outages while enabling confident efficiency improvements. Carbon-aware operations shifted non-critical workloads to periods of high renewable energy availability.
