May 1, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider SharkSpace (sharkspace.com) annouced this week it has made several initiatives in recent months to become a more environmentally friendly operation.
Level 1 PCI DSS Certified Service Provider! DataPipe delivers the best network & support; top tier data centers; New York metro, Silicon Valley, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai. DataPipe - Personal Touch, Global Reach.
The company says that over the last several months it has moved its entire server fleet to new energy efficient Dell servers, which consume up to 25 percent less energy than previous generations. Combined with performance gains, these servers offer a 300 percent increase in performance per watt over previous generations.
In addition to the new server fleet and lighting, the company says it will also decrease its energy use by converting its paper files to electronic versions through document imaging technology. After the conversion, the company expects to use about half of the paper it is currently using.
"As a company that strives to best serve the residents of our community, we feel an obligation to do everything we can to protect our environment," says Scott Jones, SharkSpace founder and CEO. "We view this not only a matter of corporate responsibility, but also a case of moral and ethical accountability. By joining The Green revolution, we're expanding our scope beyond just optimizing our own operations to helping the industry set higher efficiency standards and develop better environmental practices."
The company joins several web hosts in announcing green initiatives in lieu of last week's Earth Day, which includes Logicworks' launch last week of its new "eco-friendly" carbon offset program.
