Large Corporations Run Green Dedicated Servers

By Adam Gufarotti

Most large companies offer recycling bins and recycled paper in their offices, so it makes sense to move in an earth-friendly direction concerning technology. Regular dedicated servers are making a negative impact on the environment and leaving a carbon footprint behind as a result.

Companies Save Energy

Large corporations are facing tough times and need to operate in cost-effective and energy-saving ways. By utilizing green dedicated servers, corporations are cutting back on power usage and are setting a good example as eco-friendly companies.

Companies are not reducing energy when they use green friendly servers, but they still receive the same benefits. One of the big differences is that dedicated servers use more power as opposed to green servers. Green servers can still run demanding applications with less amounts of energy.

Since companies own their web domain, they are in complete control. They can work with hosting companies to upgrade their green dedicated servers. Companies can add more storage, higher bandwidth and memory and extra support services.

Renewable Energy Powers Companies

Companies are being offered the best of both worlds by choosing green servers. Many hosting companies and data centers that run off solar energy. Solar energy is considered renewable energy and helps greatly reduce fossil fuel usage (which is created when too much heat and electricity are used).

Dedicated servers allow companies' data to be accessed very fast without the need to employ an expensive IT staff or equipment. The power is then run off renewable energy that makes it run more efficiently while using less energy.

These are some key features found in dedicated servers:

" Plenty of storage space

" Large bandwidth and memory

" Capability to add more storage and memory

" State-of-the art processors (such as Quad XEON processors)

" High redundancy

Large companies who rely on e-commerce and high traffic via their web sites can definitely benefit from these high powered, energy efficient servers to help them operate on a daily basis.

Companies Own Complete Control

Companies have different options when they select dedicated servers. Companies can install specific features. Green hosting companies will install large corporation's software and instruct web domain holders accordingly.

Companies have complete control and act as both server administrators and web site owners. If companies do not have web hosting expertise, green hosting companies can offer technical support and advice. Some companies offer management services. For an extra fee, these hosting companies can help run corporate web sites (if needed).
