Your Site Now servers powered with 100% renewable energy

August 8, 2008 - 8:26 am

Your Site Now! is now using servers hosted in one of the first data centres in Europe to power its infrastructure entirely with renewable energy, making their operation 100% CO2 free.

How is this achieved? A renewable energy supply contract guarantees the simultaneous production of the required amount of power at the moment of its consumption in the computer centres. The electrical current is generated from river water in hydro-electrical power plants.

The production of renewable energy is currently more expensive than conventional methods, however, using new state of the art air conditioning systems and energy efficient CPUs in all servers, the actual usage of energy is reduced by 30% which redresses this balance.
