Sustainability
The greenest server is the one you already own.
Extending hardware life is what we do all day. It also happens to be the largest carbon lever in most data centers, and the numbers show up in your ESG report.
- 12,000+ t
- E-waste diverted from landfill
- 47M lbs
- CO₂ emissions prevented
- 85%
- Materials recovered and recycled
- 0
- Equipment sent to landfill
The math
Per server, per five years.
Manufacturing a new server emits roughly 10,000 lbs of CO₂. Running the one you have for five more years costs about half that in electricity.
- Buy a new server every 5 years
- 10,000 lbs CO₂
- Extend the existing server 5 years
- 5,000 lbs CO₂
- Saved, per server
- 5,000 lbs CO₂
For a 100-server data center
What extending five years is worth.
- 500,000 lbs
- CO₂ prevented. About 50 cars off the road for a year.
- 4,000 lbs
- E-waste kept out of landfill
- 40%+
- Cost saved versus replacing with new hardware
Extend hardware life
- Repair instead of replace
- Servers run 5 to 7 years past EOSL
- No manufacturing emissions for new hardware
- Fewer refresh cycles
Nothing goes to waste
- Refurbish and resell viable equipment
- Harvest working components for spares
- R2-certified recycling for the rest
Metrics for your ESG report
- Equipment lifecycle documentation
- Carbon avoidance calculations for Scope 3
- Certificates of recycling and destruction
- Audit-ready documentation
