Sustainable IT infrastructure is no longer just a nice-to-have.
How sustainable is my server hardware?
New servers form the foundation of sustainable infrastructure, offering greater performance while taking up less space and consuming less energy – driving sustainability goals while enabling industry innovation.
In the past, businesses sought IT systems that delivered the most ROI or the highest cost efficiency – however, with new local and global emissions reduction targets in place, this is no longer enough. IT infrastructures must run at the smallest possible carbon footprint with minimum environmental impact to meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and comply with government demands for sustainable innovation.
Consumers expect more from businesses than they did in the past – and the right IT infrastructure is critical to meet these expectations.
At Novarion, sustainability is a core value that is reflected in all aspects of the business. From the production processes via the efficiency of components such as power supplies, up to the system architecture and cooling systems in data centers where the servers are installed, Novarion takes a holistic approach to sustainability. We want data centers to reuse thermal energy to its largest extent with heat exchangers to run district heating or cogenerate heat and power, reducing the net carbon footprint of data centers, significantly. This not only benefits the environment but also generates operational income with waste heat, which translates into enormous savings for the clients of Novarion.
Novarion actively supports the sustainable data center ecosystem.
In addition to using energy-efficient power supply units, Novarion also employs high-quality components in the production of their systems. This ensures that there are far fewer failures and the equipment has a longer life cycle, reducing the need for replacements and further reducing the environmental impact. By using high-quality components, Novarion ensures that its systems are reliable, efficient, and sustainable.
For example, Novarion´s servers can operate up to 55 degrees Celsius. This allows for warm water cooling and more efficient reuse of waste heat. To further reduce the carbon footprint, the servers use up to 35 per cent recycled plastic and are designed so that components can be repaired, replaced, or easily recycled.
Novarion’s sustainability practices extend beyond the production process. The company is committed to reducing the use of environmentally harmful substances in the operation of its systems. We only use components that are free from hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. This ensures that our systems are environmentally friendly throughout their entire life cycle, from production to recycling.
Novarion’s commitment to sustainability benefits both the environment and its clients. By using sustainable servers and storage systems, clients can reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future. Furthermore, by using high-quality, reliable equipment, clients can minimize downtime and reduce their total cost of ownership.
In conclusion, Novarion is a server manufacturer who takes sustainability seriously. From using energy-efficient power supply units and high-quality components to avoid environmentally harmful substances and to help data centers to reuse their waste heat. By choosing Novarion as your server manufacturer you automatically reduce your own environmental impact and improve your operational and cost efficiency.
