Green data centres

There are many advantages to having a green initiative in a data centre. This is due to data centres already having to meet strict standards when it comes to serviceability, reliability and performance.

People have become increasingly concerned about the contribution of these centres – which are the backbone of the Internet - to climate change. The electricity used by Internet hosting facilities and data centres worldwide is estimated to be 0.8% of total world electricity consumption.

Due to the threat that firms may be penalised in the future for excessive carbon footprints, businesses need to act now. Faced with these urgent warnings, companies are focusing on improving the energy efficiency in their data centres.

Hosting with Ecoservers

Ecoservers use less energy and generate less heat and operate using a green UPS system. Plus all packaging is recycled and they are refrained from using paper for invoicing or correspondence.

Not only that but Ecoservers are investing into natural woodland to prevent it from being developed. The amount of energy saved by the green UPS is equivalent to switching off 14 3KW electric fires that were running 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

How does the green data centre work?

• Newer more advanced equipment is used, significantly reducing the overall power and cooling requirements of the facilities.
• UPS system is 91% efficient which is 7% higher than standard UPS.
• The green hosting centre also generates some of its own renewable energy.

Hosting in Ecoservers data centre means you’ll experience high performance, secure, state-of-the-art security hosting facilities with power resilience and environmental monitoring systems.

Plus, you’ll be doing your bit towards reducing your impact on the environment and achieving a more sustainable society for us all.
