Green Credentials

Helping to be kinder to the environment

The core of our green credentials is in our Energy Efficient Technology & Platform. However, we don't just rely on technology to help make us and ultimately your hosting greener and more environmentally friendly. Through a number of schemes, best practices and incentives we want our company and our team as a whole to be more eco-friendly.

We provide our team with the opportunity to enrol in the Cycle to Work Scheme not only reducing car journeys and the emissions these produce but also improving their health and well being.

We're an internet company - where we're going we don't need paper! Our office is designed to use as little paper as possible and we strive to be a Paperless Office. This of course not only saves the paper itself but the environmental cost of printing.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This extends beyond ensuring the right waste (we try to keep this to a minimum) goes in the right bin. We've eliminated paper and plastic cups - every staff member has their own reusable and refillable drinking vessel.

Data Centre PuE

Balancing the need for technology and being kind to our surroundings

In essence, the PuE (Power usage Effectiveness) is the ratio of the energy used by our Data Centre against the energy used by our Data Centre to deliver its services. PuE is a tool that Data Centre owners can use to measure how well the infrastructure is working.

The PuE is higher for more inefficient Data Centres; facilities that require more power will more than likely have a higher operating cost.

Our PuE is on average 1.12 (very efficient).
