Green IT: Helping the Earth and the Bottom Line
At aXs Information Technology, LLC, an earth-friendly philosophy is more than a passing trend. Our responsible interaction with the environment comes from a deeply rooted conviction.
As a global supplier of refurbished and used IT equipment, aXs Information Technology, LLC offers products that are not only an excellent value, but also a sensible part of any Green initiative. Through our rigorous certification process, aXs IT extends the life of servers, storage, networking equipment and IP telephony, reducing the amount of equipment headed for landfills and diminishing the need for virgin materials. In addition, our asset management services provide green-friendly recycling and a remarketing alternative for customers looking to enhance their own environmental initiatives.
We also offer customers the ecological and economic advantages of virtualizing and consolidating their IT infrastructures. The result is a dramatic reduction in power consumption and cooling requirements, saving energy and lowering costs.
Internally, aXs Information Technology, LLC's own green efforts are comprehensive. Processes in our engineering labs, warehouse facilities, corporate office and data center were all designed with environmental responsibility in mind.
After salvaging reusable components, technicians in our labs methodically set aside plastic housings, scrap metal and other parts to be recycled. In shipping, we reuse packing materials whenever possible and use only recyclable, post-consumer materials. Our facilities are equipped with automated lights designed to shut themselves off when no one is in a room. We've replaced nearly all CRT monitors with energy-saving LCD screens. We've also eliminated the reams of paper that so many businesses use and discard thoughtlessly.
Our data center is virtualized — a 13-to-one ratio — to keep the number of servers and other equipment as low as it can be. Virtualization efforts have allowed aXs Information Technology, LLC to eliminate more than 60 energy-consuming servers. Server and storage consolidation has cut the amount of energy required for cooling the data center.
All of these practices are part of aXs Information Technology, LLC's overriding philosophy to keep our corner of the planet ecologically sound for future generations. It's our business, and we're unwavering in our commitment to it.
You, too, can start reaping the sustainable benefits of Green IT. It's good for your planet and your bottom line. Contact aXs Information Technology, LLC today to find out more.
