Solar Powered Web Servers
Starting today, the company Greenest Host begins providing hosting services on servers that are fully powered by the energy of the Sun.
A hosting company in San Diego (California, USA) offers its services for $ 14.95 per month. All servers and other Greenest Host equipment are powered by solar panels. In some cases, propane generators will be used, but they should not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
To reduce additional costs, the company tried to make the server room and services as energy-efficient as possible. The server center building is designed in such a way that reduces the consumption of cold in the data center. But cooling can consume up to half of all electricity. The company also relies on VMWare's virtualization software to reduce power consumption from each server.
By the way, in the promo video Greenest Host it is stated that one server of the company allows to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, equal to that emitted after burning 404 liters of gasoline.
