1. A method, comprising:
collecting, by a system comprising a processor, respective workload metrics datasets for respective storage devices workloads, respective network devices workloads, and respective server devices workloads, wherein the collecting the respective workload metrics datasets for the respective server devices comprises collecting respective server device power maximum data, collecting respective server device power idle data, collecting respective server device central processing unit utilization data, collecting respective server device memory utilization data, and collecting respective server device input-output utilization data;
based on the respective workload metrics datasets, computing, by the system for the respective storage devices workloads, the respective network devices workloads, the respective server devices workloads, respective workload power consumption values;
computing, by the system, respective carbon footprint values based on location data representative of a location associated with the respective workload metrics datasets, the respective storage devices workloads, the respective network devices workloads, and the respective server devices workloads; and
based on the respective carbon footprint values, facilitating, by the system, an action being taken to modify the respective carbon footprint values resulting in modified respective carbon footprint values for use with respective subsequent workloads.
