Environmentally conscious
We want to be a socially responsible business that takes its impact on society and the environment into account.
Sustainable hosting from three datacenters in the Netherlands and Germany, powered by 100% green electricity and run on efficient hardware.
We want to be a socially responsible business that takes its impact on society and the environment into account.
We only work with suppliers that share our sustainable values, and we regularly replace hardware in our datacenters with more efficient equipment.
All hardware we take out of service is repurposed or recycled in accordance with Dutch law.
Your data is hosted at three datacenters: maincubes AMS01 near Amsterdam, Greenhouse Datacenters in Naaldwijk and maincubes FRA01 in Frankfurt. All three run on 100% green or renewable electricity. At Greenhouse Datacenters the residual heat is reused by greenhouses in the area, and both maincubes sites operate climate-neutral under EMAS and ÖkoPLUS.
An optimized IT infrastructure is essential to keep the long-term impact on the environment small. We keep re-evaluating our infrastructure design to make sure it stays efficient and reliable.
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is the ratio between the total energy a facility uses and the energy delivered to the equipment. Keeping PUE low is very important to reduce the environmental impact of our hosting facilities, and it cuts costs as well.
A building management system (BMS) helps optimize the energy consumption of our datacenter. Measures include:
vBoxx works with maincubes and Greenhouse Datacenters, whose modern facilities let us offer reliable and sustainable hosting. An important part of our strategy is efficient energy use: we do not work with individual servers but centralize our storage (cluster hosting).
Three Tier III+ datacenters in the EU, each with its own role.
