Sustainable Private Cloud Operations

Environmental - Our Low-Carbon Promise
We leverage Norway's natural advantages—stable climate, political stability, and abundant renewable energy—to deliver a truly green cloud platform.
​
100% Renewable Energy:
- Our data centers in Norway and Germany are powered exclusively by renewable sources (primarily local hydropower).
Engineered Efficiency:
- Our entire compute platform utilizes energy-efficient hardware and is fully virtualized (compute, storage, and network) to eliminate waste.
Smart Storage:
- We exclusively use high-performance SSD storage combined with data reduction technologies (compression, deduplication) to cut electricity use.
​
Resource Optimization:
- We use intelligent resource planning and have the technical ability to move workloads between our four data centers for the most efficient hardware usage.
Social & Governance
Our commitment extends beyond the data center, ensuring ethical and sustainable business practices.
​
Ethical Operation:
- We maintain zero tolerance for corruption, bribery, or forced labor, and we guarantee safe workplaces and respect for labor rights.
​
Green Business Practices:
- We operate a 100% paperless business, actively promote recycling, and reduce emissions through work-from-home policies and minimizing unnecessary travel.
​
Sustainable Supply Chain:
- We choose HW partners (who provide detailed product carbon footprint reports) and our data center partners who share our deep commitment to reducing CO2 emissions and achieving certified sustainability goals.
