Pandela has shown how responsible it is towards the environment by partnering with CrabonFund.org. The web hosting is fully aware of the negative effects of operating its data centers. The move would enable this web hosting service to reduce its carbon footprints. Webmasters would also be relaxed and happy to note that their websites are not contributing to global warming. The web hosting service chose to optimize its data centers to make sure that the planet remains a safer place for the future generations.

Every individual, an industry and an organization has its share of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse emissions. The IT industry also plays a role in global warming. The carbon footprint is produced due to the utilization of energy for running servers and personal computers. Other factors which enhance carbon emissions include the under-utilization of hardware and the use of old servers. If a server space or a virtual sever is not optimized, then also an IT industry has the potential to produce a carbon footprint.

The data center optimization process of Pandela is based on the philosophy, "Reduce What You Can, Offset What You Can’t". The VPS hosting service is still in the search for new ways by which it can bring down carbon emission from its data centers. The annual carbon footprint associated with a server of moderate size can be compared to that of a gas-guzzling SUV! The international financial institutions which depend on IT services to a large extent have been found to be responsible for emitting 500,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. Around 65 percent of this total is constituted by emissions from IT power consumption.

Realizing the necessity to bring down the power consumption and carbon emissions, Pandela has been taking care in its data center optimization procedures. Pandela has wanted to make sure that it achieves a perfect combination of its resources like data centers, business applications, servers, networks, infrastructure products and storage.

All these efforts are meant to bring down Pandela’s footprint. But these actions have been successful to some extent.

Pandela has been honest enough to disclose that its carbon footprint still exists despite its efforts. But Pandela’s desire to go green in the true sense has resulted in a tie-up with CrbonFund.org. The VPS host has enrolled into their CarbonFree program. This step has helped Pandela counterbalance the adverse effects of its carbon footprint. This has helped the VPS hosting company to stick to its commitment of a greener hosting. In the same way, Pandela has been able to nullify the effects its business might have on the environment.
