The AMD Opteron Processor Helps AISO Grow Its 'Green' Business by Courting Eco-Friendly Customers Like Live Earth

Tags:
processors

Overview AISO.Net has been a trusted name in environmentally-friendly Web hosting since 1997, providing a level of service that is outstanding in the industry. All network and server hardware is fully redundant with 24x7-automated systems monitoring to ensure high uptime. AlSO founders envisioned a Web hosting company that was environmentally friendly. While the company employed energy-efficient innovations like solar panels, its infrastructure produced unacceptable power and cooling requirements. AISO deployed IBM Blade Center servers running VMware virtual infrastructure software on nearly 700 Second-Generation AMD Opteron processors. The infrastructure is complementary to AlSO's overall sustainability efforts such as solar panels and rain water harvesting.
