What makes ussustainable
Sustainability is not a marketing claim. It is a set of measurable choices we make about where our servers live, what hardware they run on, and how we measure what happens next.
We vet our datacentresagainst four criteria
Every datacentre we work with has to pass all four. Tap each one to see what we look for.
How we stack upagainst the industry
Three metrics sit behind every datacentre decision. The orange mark shows the industry average. We require our data centres to fall well within.
PUE
How efficiently a datacentre uses energy. The lower the score, the better.
WUE
How efficiently a datacentre uses water. Lower is better.
Carbon intensity
The amount of carbon emitted per unit of energy produced. Lower is better.
Super efficienthardware
We choose the highest energy efficiency hardware on offer at the datacentre. Today that means running AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC processors exclusively, and picking components with the lowest embodied emissions.
AMD Ryzen & EPYC exclusively
We run AMD processors only, chosen for their energy efficiency per unit of compute.
Lowest embodied emissions
We pick hardware with the lowest emissions across production, transportation and disposal.
Efficiency first
Every watt counts. The best hardware is the hardware that needs the least energy to do the work.
The very bestmodelling
We use the very best modelling to give you the numbers you need to improve the sustainability of your applications, from a single page to an entire estate.
