Green Hosting
At Metafour we have always tried to fulfil our responsibly of doing our bit for the environment. 4D is an award-winning green collocation provider and has pioneered CO2 reduction techniques for the IT Industry. It now operates with an impressive PUE of 1.14 which makes it one of the greenest data centres on the planet. 4D’s installation of one of the UK’s first evaporation cooling systems cut the data centre’s cooling load by 88.9% and saving an estimated 440,605 kg of CO2 a year. This in turn reduces our own carbon footprint and that of our customers.
Performance
4D delivers superior data security, availability and performance, resulting in savings which we in turn pass on to our customers. It also provides high speed and diverse access to hosted data as well as the ability for us to privately connect with our existing networks in other facilities where back up data is stored. Using 4D also makes it easier for us to solve issues both onsite and remotely via their 24hr “remote hands” service, which helps us resolve issues in the fastest way possible.
Courier Software Results
Using 4D is just one of the ways in which we ensure high levels of security and service to our customers. Making the right choices about who we use as a supplier, results in added quality of service. We continue to assess these choices to make sure that we offer the highest standards in software innovation.
