Ecology has been the heart of their priorities since 2007. The goal is to have as little impact as possible on the planet.
Now a champion of energy savings, Infomaniak plans to recover heat from servers to heat an entire neighborhood. An initiative that is too rare in the it field,that it is therefore essential to highlight it.
Use of ambient air to cool the servers, no air conditioning… This star in theenergy economy in the computer world wants to go further.
Its next data center will be equipped with a heat pump, so that the superlative degrees induced by the large number of computers are recovered to heat a district of about twenty buildings via the Genevan remote heating network. The project will be done in partnership with the GIS, in La Chapelle-Les-Sciers and should be completed by the end of 2023.
Infomaniak highlights 20 ecological commitments. These include:
- Make every effort to reduce and optimize your energy consumption
- Use electrical energy exclusively from renewable sources
- Actively encourage the soft mobility of its employees
- Donate a percentage of its new cases to conservation associations
- Opt for the purchase of materials without volatile organic compounds, as well as biodegradable
- Recycle all consumables, whether electrical, electronic, as well as paper, toner, iron, aluminum, PET, glass, plastics, etc.
You can find all their ecological commitments on their website.
