Carbon Relay, founded in 2015 by Matt Provo and based in Boston, MA and Washington, DC, provides Red Sky Ops, a machine‑learning platform that automates and manages optimal configurations for applications running in Kubernetes. The platform lets teams create deployment experiments, run them under load, and automatically generate accurate, comprehensive suggestions for best configurations on a continuous basis. Carbon Relay aims to eliminate manual optimization by DevOps, networking, and IT professionals and to end overprovisioning of compute and storage resources. Red Sky Ops is positioned for use by enterprises, cloud providers, and Kubernetes distribution providers to ensure application stability in production. The company says its platform can manage millions of possible combinations of application variables and implement the best configurations in any cloud environment. It plans to use recent funding to accelerate growth of the Red Sky Ops solution. Carbon Relay develops AI-driven software to improve energy efficiency and cooling operations in data centers. Its two products, Optimize and Predict, ingest customers' existing IoT data and visualization platforms to control industrial HVAC systems and surface efficiency opportunities. Optimize can simulate a customer environment in 48 hours and move into production in about 12 weeks, making hundreds of continuous decisions across 40 variables under operator supervision. Predict trains on customers' historical operations data collected by thousands of IoT sensors to provide forecasts and advanced data-visualization tools for prioritizing efficiency work. The company targets enterprise data centers, bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining operations, and federal facilities. Carbon Relay was founded in 2015 and is based in Boston, MA and Washington, DC.
