solar powered hosting
here at shaktiva; we do our best to play our part in reducing the carbon footprint in our planet. that is why we opted for solar powered hosting provided by www.aiso.net/solar-powered-network.asp. you would never even know the difference between regular hosts, because its performance is just the same if not better.
"AISO is an environmentally conscious company who cares about the future and our environment. By generating electricity thru the use of solar panels we are able to produce the energy needed without polluting our environment. Our solar panels power both our green data center and offices, not like other companies that use energy credits for their servers and/or office. We have invested in the fight to stop pollution and preserving our natural resources. We are 100% solar powered and we don't pass the extra costs associated with going greener to our clients! Plus AISO was featured in Inc. Magazines' Top 50 Green Companies and was the first public data center member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)."
Power is generated using 120 solar panels located on two large sets of arrays (1), one on each side of our data center. The solar panel arrays face due south, which will generate the most possible amount of electricity. The power from the solar panels is DC, which is converted to AC through our sunny boy inverters (2). After it is converted using the inverters it is stored in our battery bank (3), which we will be getting rid of soon with a new way to be 100% green powered. Look for more information coming soon on how we plan to replace our batteries with a more environmentally friendly alternative. It then leaves our battery bank and runs through out our data center and offices including the air conditioners (4). In case of an emergency we can get power from our generator but it is not necessary.
