July 17, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — In June, dedicated server hosting company SoftLayer (softlayer.com) sent out an informational paper on data centers and their impact on the environment.
The document, in format, is a frequently-asked-questions style Q&A covering about 1,000 words and two pages. In function, it’s a pitch for SoftLayer’s services ? not really an unexpected or unreasonable function for almost-a-whitepaper material such as this.
Issuing reports on the green status of their businesses may be developing as a fresh promotional tool for hosting companies. Earlier this week, we posted an interview with John Engates of Rackspace (rackspace.com), which had recently issued data from a survey analyzing the green attitudes of its hosting customers.
