Montpellier Metropolis
Managing the sustainability and performance of 7,000+ PCs with sobrii
Why act now
Global component shortage
DRAM and NAND scarce due to AI demand. PC prices rising 15-20% in 2026.
Windows 10 end of support
October 2025: no more security updates. Thousands of devices to migrate or extend.
Regulatory requirements
REEN and AGEC laws: measure digital carbon footprint and extend device lifespan.
Budget constraints
IT budgets under pressure. Blindly replacing 7,000 PCs is no longer an option — prioritization is key.
The budget-changing decision
What sobrii changed in 12 months
Through usage optimization, automated sleep mode, and real-time energy monitoring, the Metropolis reduced its CO₂ emissions by 10% across the entire fleet.
Centralized warranty status display for each PC, enabling distinction between covered and uncovered devices to prioritize maintenance or replacement decisions.
With 15-20% price increases announced by Dell, Lenovo, and HP in 2026 (DRAM/NAND shortage), extending device lifespan becomes a budget imperative as much as an ecological one.
sobrii is used by the Metropolis CIO as a central dashboard for managing sustainability, performance, and total cost of ownership (TCO) across 7,000+ PCs.
sobrii enabled us to identify immediate cost-saving levers and make decisions based on objective data. It is a strategic tool for better managing the sustainability and performance of our IT fleet.
