Web Hosting Climate Positive Goals for 2008, Achieved by ServInt
McLean, Virginia – (The Hosting News) – March 3, 2009 – Provider of high-reliability web hosting for businesses worldwide, ServInt, has revealed that it has successfully met its climate-positive web hosting goals for 2008.
In June 2008, the company launched its Green Initiative, deploying multiple green methodologies to help customers operate with minimal environmental impact. For 2008, ServInt met the goals of its Green Initiative via the following programs:
–ServInt offset the total carbon footprint of its entire line of Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting solutions, including its SuperVPS service, by at least 110 percent. This was accomplished through a large-scale reforestation campaign operated by American Forests
(www.americanforests.org). To ensure a truly climate-positive approach, ServInt calculates its reforestation commitment not only on the energy consumption of the host servers, but on its entire VPS infrastructure.
–ServInt recycled all recyclable components and exceeded environmental standards for the disposal of all non-recyclable hazardous components.
–ServInt made exclusive use of Dell low-voltage server hardware for two of its most popular hosting services, SuperVPS and UltimateVPS. This helped to ensure low per-capita energy consumption through efficient virtualization. The Dell hardware provides high-performance, while operating with a much smaller carbon footprint. Both SuperVPS and UltimateVPS are powerful replacements for the traditional dedicated server. They offer customers increased redundancy while providing the same computing performance of a traditional dedicated server, with significant cost savings.
ServInt’s Green Initiative has helped its customers realize that, besides harming the environment, energy-inefficient computing can adversely affec their company’s financial health and lead to serious competitive disadvantages. ServInt’s method of virtualization improves energy efficiency via the decommissioning of unnecessary physical servers and higher utilization of the remaining, more energy-efficient servers.
Reed Caldwell, Founder and CEO of ServInt remarked, ”In 2008, we helped ourselves, our customers and the planet by utilizing efficient servers, recycling our components and investing in carbon-offset projects. This year, we will continue our commitment to these green measures and go even further by exploring new ways of decreasing waste and increasing efficiency.”
