Carbon Neutral
Spectrum is proud to announce an exciting new initiative to offset carbon emissions resulting from electricity consumption at our state-of-the-art Data Centre. When choosing Spectrum Networks, you will be given the option to select a level of carbon offsets appropriate to the power consumption requirements of your services.
Why do we need offsets?
Almost all electricity supplied into NSW, and specifically into the Sydney CBD is from coal-fired steam turbines in the Hunter Valley.
What offset technology has Spectrum chosen?
Spectrum chooses Wind-Turbine Technology as the cleanest, most efficient power-generation technology currently available within Australia. Wind Power is proven and reliable. One of the nearest wind-farms to Sydney is at Crookwell NSW. More choices may be available as technology in this important area improves. Carbon Offsets are available for the following services:
- Dedicated Hosting
- Virtual Hosting
- VOIP
- Private Networks
Matters influencing the level of carbon offset credits required include:
- Single or Dual Power Supplies on Servers
- Size of Disk Arrays in Servers
- Cisco Routers selected for Private Networks
- VOIP Handset types
