Green Telecoms
Telecommunications
Telecommunications is a technology, which by its very nature, reduces the carbon footprint of people. The more you use the telephone the less you get in your car and travel. So telecommuting is carbon footprint reducing.
On average it seems that a car uses about. 5 kwh (kilowatt hours) per mile travelled so if you save say 1000 miles by not travelling you save 500 kwh. Of course this also saves cost for your business.
A key feature of the cloud net offering is the fact that our phones work where ever you are. This means that there is no longer a requirement travel into the office just to make a phone call. This is superior to traditional offerings.
Cloud Based Systems
Cloud Based base computing is more energy efficient than running a local server. Local servers only work with one company, and this means an awful lot of the time they are left switched on, but doing very little. With the cloud-based solution they work more efficiently over the cycle. Clearly, aggregating the computing needs of multiple companies reduces power consumption overall. It certainly reduces the power bill that each individual company pays and overall reduces the carbon footprint.
We estimate that every server we replace with a cloud based system saves 1,500 kwh of energy per year.
To improve things further Cloud Net uses only the latest most energy efficient servers within state of the art Internet Centres.
Oh - and because our phones work without switching on your computer there is even more energy saving.
Lean Company
Cloud Net is a lean company. We do not employ lots of fat cat executives, who operate from large buildings in the centre of cities. We operate from a single building on the outskirts of the city. This means our energy footprint is clearly lower than those of our competitors.
How We Operate
We have a strict environmental policy, which means that where ever we can we recycle everything. Our literature and marketing materials are primarily web-based so that we don't use paper. Where we use paper we try to ensure that is recycled and where we use electronic optical media we try to ensure that these are recyclable.
We travel as little as possible. Employees work from home, whenever possible. We work hard to minimise our carbon footprint. Please check out our environmental policy.
Targets
We intend to increase the number of servers as we work harder with our customers. The more we deploy the more energy we save the planet.
Because we are a relatively new company we have none of the energy wasting legacy habits that many old companies have, for example, we do not fly anywhere.
