About Us / Green Hosting

Ultraspeed's eco-friendly Managed Cloud Platform is built for its efficiency, with the energy savings reflected in a competitive price structure, and wastes neither energy nor hardware.
Small enterprises cannot afford waste and even small-percentage waste from big enterprises can mean a big carbon footprint. Hosting is potentially a wasteful industry. If done badly it consumes vast amounts of energy unnecessarily, and generates pollution as a result. Any company with eco-values that decides to outsource its IT can be confident that Ultraspeed has green hosting credentials to match their own:

deploying cloud technology efficiently

The virtualisation technology at the heart of Ultraspeed's Managed Cloud Platform is another energy and hardware saving method, as virtual servers do not use a hard disk and can reside together simultaneously on a single physical server. Becoming less reliant on hardware means being able to scale up swiftly, without taking on extra hardware. This is a greener, more efficient hosting method for businesses whose hosting requirements have to cope with heavy load.

using low-voltage servers, provisioning resources smartly

Deploying low-voltage servers powered by DC power is efficient and saves money for Ultraspeed's client in the long run. Ultraspeed’s Amsterdam data centres run perfectly on sustainable DC power and a hot/cold aisle system that keeps servers at the optimum temperature, saving money while reducing the rate of server crashes.

recycling wherever possible

The first step to take when adopting an eco-friendly model is recycling. Unfortunately many companies only get as far as paper recycling in their over-sized, wasteful offices. Ultraspeed's wasteless operating model goes farther, with measures such as recycling hardware (CPU chassis, for example) rather than making needless discards.

Green to the Core

Instead of making token eco gestures by planting trees, or paying convenience money to offset our carbon footprint (in effect just passing the buck), Ultraspeed strive to reduce waste, for a true green hosting model.

And instead of just offsetting, we have actually reduced energy use: Ultraspeed's Systems Engineers have devised a more energy-efficient system that uses less power, consisting of a virtualized Managed Cloud Platform and a sustainably powered data centre.
