Asset Management has always been the historical core of GLPI. Today, our solution goes further by connecting technical inventory with environmental challenges. Thanks to the new GLPI Carbon plugin, you can transform your CMDB into a powerful tool for steering your ecological transition.
Full visibility over your IT infrastructure
To optimize, you must first measure. GLPI centralizes all your data via the GLPI Agent or standard protocols (SNMP, WinRM, SSH). Computers, servers, routers, and printers are all indexed in a single platform.
With the release of GLPI 11, management now extends to "Custom Assets": vehicles, industrial equipment, or electrical infrastructure. If an asset has a cost and requires tracking, GLPI ensures full traceability:
- Maintenance and warranties.
- Financial management and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) calculation.
- Tracking of associated incidents and changes.

GLPI Carbon: Measuring the Environmental Impact of Digital Technology
Since 2024, GLPI has been a key partner in the IEN project (Environmental Impact of Digital Technology) alongside prestigious partners such as Airbus, Afnic, and Sorbonne University. The first major milestone? GLPI Carbon. This project will continue to evolve through 2027.
This innovative plugin leverages your inventory data to calculate the carbon equivalent of your computers. By connecting to reference databases (Boavizta, RTE, Electricity Maps), it:
- Analyzes the manufacturing impact (Life Cycle Assessment).
- Monitors power consumption in real-time.
Towards ISO Certification and Responsible IT
Integrating GLPI Carbon allows organizations to generate precise indicators for ISO 14000 and 14044 certifications. You can now estimate the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of your fleet and identify key levers to reduce your carbon footprint.
Choosing GLPI means opting for an Open Source solution built for the future, combining operational performance with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
