A note from our datacenter...
1. When Bigger Is Not Better
2. Keeping Cool And Still Using Less
3. Optimizing Pumps And Fans For Better Efficiency-To avoid wasting this energy we use Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on our air conditioning pumps and fans. A VFD will provide the right amount of electricity so the motor can operate in the most efficient manner. It's not working harder just smarter.
4. How Backup Generators Can Do Better On Their Tests - We test our backup generators "under load," meaning we actually run our Data Center on the power they generate. This not only saves electricity but give us a better idea of how they perform in a real power emergency. The generator manufacturers recommend testing them under load but few Data Centers choose to do this
5. Newer Computers Use Less Energy - Older computers aren't just slower; they use significantly more energy to do the same amount of processing when compared to a newer CPU.
6. Cutting Needless Packaging By Up To 66% - To cut down on needless packing materials, we've requested that our suppliers ship our new equipment to us in bulk packaging when possible.
7. And Recycling Just About Everything - We recycle all of our cardboard, metals and our old computers. Nothing goes to landfills except non recyclable garbage.

We're serious about our commitment to the environment. As a customer, you can be sure that we're doing our best to be Atlanta's least wasteful, most energy efficient Data Center.
