Why INTERGATOR Cloud is the greener hosting alternative
More and more companies are moving their IT infrastructure to the cloud and digitizing their business processes. The trend towards mobile working, service information systems and constantly growing data volumes is fueling this development, and many companies are gradually moving away from traditional on-premise hosting to cloud solutions, which are easier to scale and often more cost-effective. But the issue of sustainability and a “greener” image are also dominating discussions in executive suites, and the demand for more ecological concepts does not stop at IT.
The cloud as a more sustainable hosting solution
Broadband expansion and the almost universal availability of fast Internet have made it possible in recent years to store more and more data in the cloud and gradually outsource cost-intensive hosting. In the past, elaborate on-premise data centers were operated, which not only swallowed up large parts of the IT budget for maintenance, but also became more and more technically complex. Companies therefore economized on operations, maintenance and backup and developed concepts for outsourcing large parts of their IT. Security concerns and data protection aspects were part of the considerations, but hosting providers took up the demands and developed competitive offers.
Especially in times of climate change, cloud computing also offers clear sustainability benefits. Climate change, which is increasingly forcing its way into the public consciousness in the social debate, opens up another argumentative advantage for cloud computing. Here, multiple customers share a piece of hardware, reducing the amount of equipment and electricity that would otherwise be needed to run it. Hardware is much better utilized in a shared infrastructure. Compared to traditional on-premise hosting, savings of over 80% can be achieved. In addition, some data center operators have switched to renewable energy and significantly improved their eco-balance.
INTERGATOR in the Low Energy Cloud
With the Hamburg-based hosting provider ScaleUp, we deliberately chose a provider that specializes in sustainable processes. Not only are all ScaleUp data centers powered by 100 percent renewable energy, the company is also increasingly relying on efficient refurbished Open Compute (OCP) and Rack Scale Hardware. OCP hardware is not only more powerful and significantly more efficient in operation, the use of refurbished hardware can save up to 66% CO2.
What other advantages does the INTERGATOR Cloud offer
In addition to a better eco-balance, switching to the INTERGATOR Cloud offers further advantages.
- Save on the purchase and operation of dedicated hardware and use optimized systems in a professional data center instead.
- Reduce costs through a transparent SaaS and PaaS model.
- Relieve your employees of routine administrative tasks.
Scale your needs at any time and use modern hardware that adapts to you. - Access INTERGATOR from anywhere without additional software and use a modern artificial intelligence-based enterprise search.
- Use INTERGATOR in a cloud or hybrid environment.
INTERGATOR Cloud is an AI-based enterprise search solution for fast, secure and cross-application information access. In addition to intelligent search functionality, INTERGATOR has numerous standard connectors and combines context-sensitive search with exact search via artificial neural networks. INTERGATOR Cloud is operated on a scalable cloud infrastructure and also in hybrid mode for certain use cases.
