The Green Initiative Technology Campaign

A company wide initiative at reducing the negative impact on our environment. Behind-the-scenes, DNS Made Easy is making a huge effort when it comes to our green initiative campaign.

We are lowering our impact on the environment with energy-saving initiatives at all major facilities. DNS Made Easy has a presence in data centers all over the world, and it is a well-known fact that these facilities consume significantly more power than traditional building construction.

Under the Green Initiative campaign, all facilities utilize preferred 208 volt, 3-phase power systems. This power configuration is the most efficient in the data centers power distribution network. It also requires fewer circuits per cage which means fewer power cables in the floor obstructing air flow, improving overall data center cooling.

With DNS Made Easy’s requirements for high availability and redundancy, many of our servers are idle for considerable periods of time. Under the green initiative campaign DNS Made Easy requires these servers are configured to use as little power as possible until they are needed. This often helps reduce the consumed power footprint by as much as 45%.

The option of optimal power choices and conservation technologies are a crucial part of DNS Made Easy’s data center selection process, and we work cooperatively with our data center providers to gain the most efficiency possible. A primary example is our data center located in Frankfurt, Germany, which is powered by Greenpeace power.
