Part of our overall business benefit offering is costs reduction for small business running their own in house networks/servers/applications.
Typically these machines are left on day and night and as inefficient as smaller systems can be the electricity draw is incredible when you look at the power consumption of the device and the cooling systems to stop them overheating.
We have found in some examples a straight forward fileserver can draw up to £900.00 worth of electricity in a year. Many small business are running 2,3 4 and upwards servers.
The data centre, which is where we encourage customers of Cloudcomputing.ltd.uk to access their business services from is a far more efficient source of power cooling and ultimately cheaper and greener. Further technologies in the background allow for servers to shut down on lower loads, cycle down in part or whole all with the objective of lowering costs and carbon emissions.
