Power-Saving Servers Now Available

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Ever keen to keep as green as possible, Melbourne has switched to using Dell’s new PowerEdge R200 rackmount servers. Released in January, they use approximately 30% less power than their predecessor, not only meaning a substantial improvement to their environmental impact, but also meaning we’ve been able to pass on a cost saving to our customers given the reduced energy costs.

Visit our dedicated servers section to view the new Core2Duo and Dual Core Xeon servers on offer, starting from just £69 per month!

As usual these servers come with our complete business-class SLAs, including 4 hour hardware swapout guarantee, 100% Power SLA and 99.95% Network SLA.
