1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, through a user interface, (i) a first set of data indicating one or more characteristics of an existing datacenter, and (ii) a second set of data indicating one or more preferred characteristics of a cloud computing framework for replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter;
determining a first set of one or more measures for the existing datacenter based at least in part on the first set of data, the first set of one or more measures including a measure of environmental sustainability associated with the existing datacenter;
identifying, from among a plurality of different cloud computing frameworks, one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks for replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter based at least in part on the second set of data;
for each of the one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks identified, determining a second set one or more measures for the respective candidate cloud computing framework based at least in part on the first and second sets of data, the second set of one or more measures including a measure of environmental sustainability associated with the respective candidate cloud computing framework;
presenting, through the user interface, data indicating at least a portion of the first set of one or more measures determined for the existing datacenter, data identifying one or more characteristics of each of the one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks, and data indicating at least a portion of the second set of one or more measures determined for each of the one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks,
wherein the first set of data includes data indicating a location of the existing datacenter, a rate at which the existing datacenter consumes energy, a rate at which a facility or building that houses the existing datacenter consumes energy, a Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) of the existing datacenter, an uninterruptible power source (UPS) load of the existing datacenter, an amount of energy generated onsite for the existing datacenter, a distribution of energy purchased for the existing datacenter, carbon offsets procured for the existing datacenter or an organization associated with the existing datacenter, contractual or financial agreements for purchasing green power for the existing datacenter, or a combination thereof; and
replacing computing resources of the existing datacenter with the one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks based on the first set or one or more measures determined for the existing datacenter and second one or more measures determined for each of the one or more candidate cloud computing frameworks.
