Constellate Green Power/Operations Initiatives

Eco-friendly environments save time and money. And when it comes to operating green, Constellate walks the walk. Constellate’s goal is to reduce power consumption and to champion green initiatives both in our company and in our community. Our pledge is to continue investing in green technology and to encourage our customers to participate in these programs. As always, we welcome new ideas.

Constellate is Green:

• Server Consolidation through virtualization technology drastically lowers energy consumption.
• Chillerless Air Cooling cuts down on energy usage and evaporation waste.
• Ventilation System reduces the need for full-time conventional air conditioning by utilizing exterior air in cooler months.
• Energy Efficient Lighting replaces older lighting fixtures and uses existing and ambient light wherever practical.
• Energy-Efficient Power Supplies for new system builds in all of our Data Centers.
• Equipment Recycling/Resale allows a “full-life” for all technology. We sell unutilized equipment and donate to Goodwill Computer Works for others to reuse.
• Exploring GreenHouse Server Rooms pioneered by Intel, testing and running server rooms at 90 degrees or higher.

Constellate Green Servers

Constellate Green Servers utilize power-efficient 2.5" hard disk drives which reduce power consumption by 40% over standard 3.5" hard drives. By using even lower-consumption Solid State Drives, power usage is reduced more than 90%. Because they have no moving parts, they run cooler, which significantly lowers the necessary cooling costs for heat exchange. Using SSDs results in up to 150% improved system performance, making this green option good for your business as well.

Installing redundant EnergyStar compliant power supplies provide 85%+ power efficiency and a fault-tolerant PSU backup in case of failure. To round out the solution, we add low-power Intel CPUs and low-voltage memory.

Every time you buy a Constellate Green Server, we will plant 5 trees through Arbor Day Foundation (www.arborday.org). We’re happy to contribute to the replanting of America’s fire-stricken National Forests and we are hopeful that you will join us in making a difference.
