Webarchitects tries to balance hardware and energy resources in order to deliver services in the greenest way we can.
Webarchitects use and re-use hardware and free software to build customer services. We aim to get the maximum life possible out of hardware and often re-purpose servers. When sourcing new hardware we try to use the most ethical sources.
Computers are huge consumers of electricity. Webarchitects have gone to great lengths to make sure all our hosting is provided in the most ethical way we can.
The co-operative Ashton-Under-Lyne Data Centre where our pyhsical hardware is located is shared between Tameside Council, the local NHS Trust and Cooperative Network Infrastructure (CNI). Tameside Council owns the building where the data centre is located. The council sources power in line with its Climate Change & Environment Strategy 2021–2026.
Some of our hardware has been made in Sheffield by Very PC. Our newest systems have some of the lowest power usage CPUs available, and much of our hardware has been upgraded and repurposed over the years to ensure that we get the maximium service life from the resource rich investment that goes into the production of IT hardware.
