As a hosting provider we understand the impact and the strain on resources that can be consumed on a daily basis. That is why we steadfastly maintain a strong commitment to the environment, both through charitable work and support of local and national causes as well as careful implementation in our everyday operational practices. We and many of our clients no longer commute to and from the office and those that do can significantly reduce their energy costs and carbon fingerprint by eliminating sever and network infrastructure from the workplace.
We are striving to be both environmentally responsible, as well as promote solutions that can benefit everyone in ensuring we have a healthy planet for ages to come. To reduce air pollution we choose to use renewable energy sources, such as wind power, whenever available. We also practice conservation on a company scale, with recycling programs, and employee education at all our offices and facilities. We offer customers Virtualization options to help maximize their computing potential with an overall lower space requirement and energy consumption. We also make regular procedure reviews and physical upgrades to our infrastructure with the latest efficient technologies to ensure that we make the most of every opportunity to minimize our own impact on the environment in all our marketing, and the surrounding communities.
