So this week in the course of putting together a new business plan for another venture I visited their website and came across the page summarising Rochen’s green initiatives. Briefly, through Green Mountain Energy they are purchasing carbon credits to offset the emissions of their hosting operations. More importantly they are looking to reduce the emission to start with by utilising energy efficient equipment and just making smart decisions like filling the empty slots in the racks so the climate control is actually cooling the servers and not the empty spaces. This is just one example. Of course they also reduce and recycle packaging and look for this type of commitment in their vendors as well.

Rochen offer some great hosting packages, back up by the best support and you can see more, including details about their green initiatives at the Rochen website.
