TCO2: Analyzing the Carbon Footprint of Database Server Replacements
Summary: Analyzes embodied vs operational CO2 trade-offs for database server replacements, showing embodied emissions can dominate payback times under low-carbon grids. Presents TCO2: an interactive, workload- and architecture-aware lifecycle tool to estimate ecological deployment cycles. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
