Thinking Green

Conservation of the environment and rising power needs have become a growing concern for the enterprise computing community. Technology continues to advance, delivering more processing power than ever before, but in the process it can tax the power and cooling infrastructures in place. In addition to this, as data centers grow the space needed to house and cool them expands, consuming valuable real-estate and using additional resources.

The only way to harness all that technology has to offer while keeping costs down and protecting our environment is to think green. That is to, through innovation, develop and implement equipment and procedures to get more by using less. Verari Systems' BladeRack® 2 Series is built on the industry-leading technology that makes just that possible.

IT managers are already paying attention to the return on investment associated with acquiring more energy-efficient equipment but the advantages of a Green Data Center doesn't stop there. Green data centers don't just save energy and reduce overhead, they also improve community relations and provide healthy, eco-conscious environments.

Verari Systems Proactive Approach to Packaging

Unlike many of our competitors, we do not pack blade servers in individual cardboard boxes stuffed with Styrofoam. The BladeRack 2 is shipped in a rock solid crate, with nodes installed, ready to run. Depending on the location, a subset of the nodes may be shipped in a second crate. All the packaging is completely reusable so there is no wasted cardboard or Styrofoam to fill landfills that are already pushing capacity.

In addition to lightening the burden on the environment, this method of packaging dramatically cuts costs on shipping and handling, allowing Verari to pass those savings on to the customer. The fact the BladeRack 2 is shipped ready to run immensely cuts down set up time, saving everyone involved further resources.

As part of our ongoing efforts to attain this objective, Verari Systems continually focuses on the following initiatives:

Waste Reduction and Recycling – Our employees help to make Verari an environmentally responsible company by using the principles of reducing, reusing and recycling.

Eco-Friendly Design – Verari Systems’ research and development team continually works on new ways to develop more eco-friendly solutions to the energy concerns facing today’s data center infrastructure. Our patented Vertical Cooling Technology was developed with this in mind.

Hazardous Materials Management – We work to ensure safe and proper management of hazardous materials and waste, including their handling, disposal, storage, and shipment, as well as ensuring compliance with company and legal requirements pertaining to the management of hazardous waste.

Scrap Management – In an effort to reduce, reuse, and recycle, Verari works with outside vendors to ensure that all scrap metal is recycled in an environmentally safe method. We are committed to reducing our overall scrap waste.

Energy Management – We continually work towards improving energy efficiency in building design and construction, energy conservation best practices in existing and future facilities, identifying opportunities in new and innovative programs offered through utility companies and with local, state, and national agencies, and on continuously raising energy awareness among Verari employees and customers.

Cooperative Environmental Operations – Verari has extended its “green” practices by joining several organizations such as The Green Grid and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. Organizations like this help to develop meaningful, platform-neutral standards, measurement methods, processes and new technologies to improve energy efficient performance of global data centers.
