Privatelayer GREEN?

I currently work at Privatelayer im the director of Marketing and it is in the hosting industry. Privatelayer provides dedicated servers and online services to consumers globally. Privatelayer is a business that thrives on using a lot of energy consumption to have servers on and running 24 hours a day. Although I have to admit i didnt think you could actually be green in this business once  I researched that Private layer is actually as Green as it can be when it comes to energy consumption and in the field.

In Zurich Switzerland where Private layer hosts about 350 servers all of the latest green initiatives are implemented.

The data center in Zurich Switzerland is called Equinix which is a global company that rents server space across 38 key markets in 13 countries and 5 continents.  The advantage to using an Equinix building to host your space is you can start a data center whenever you want and all of the infrastructure is already there for you. Hosting a room full of servers requires you to have very technological equipment to help manage all of the hot air that the servers disburse. Most importantly Equinix is “committed to improving energy efficiency within a data center industry”. Equnix is also part of many groups like the green grid which is a consortium purely dedicated to building energy efficient data centers. Equinix employees are part of the US green building council and the American society of heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

They have also been recognized by many organizations and awarded prizes for there green initiatives.
