Reduce your business carbon footprint with Cloud Computing
Technology is changing with Cloud Hosting
Thanks to ever changing
technology we now have the ability to provide businesses with the same services as dedicated servers
or collocated hardware at a fraction of the carbon footprint of these
solutions.
Cloud computing enables us to provide the same power and more
flexibility without the inherent wasting that traditional solutions
cause.
Cloud computing is the next step towards greener hosting, get your
business on the right track today by migrating your old hardware to
a virtualized environment
Consolidation to green hosting
Virtual server technology allows your business to consolidate
applications that once required separate hardware onto one server.
The virtual nature of the cloud allows your business to maintain
application isolation using the same hardware, preventing the all
too common problem of under-utilized servers. These under-utilized
servers still require the same cooling and power as at capacity
systems and create the same carbon footprint.
Cloud hosting eliminates the wasted unused disk space, CPU power & memory by
leveraging the full potential of a server spread over multiple
virtual instances. It
can easily replace dozens of pieces of hardware and combine their
applications into one efficient solution.
Energy consumption
Providing global access to business
applications increases staff efficiency and lowers the environmental
footprint of a business as travel, commuting and shipping requirements reduce.
Industry analysts estimate
enterprise IT accounts for up to 40% of a company’s energy
consumption. Cutting back can generate a large decrease in a single
organization’s carbon footprint. In 2006, the Department of Energy
estimated that U.S. data centers accounted for approximately 1.5
percent of all U.S. electricity usage.
Cloud computing allows higher
utilization of CPU resources. Consolidating and sharing those
resources helps curtail the negative effect of data center sprawl
and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
