Green Hosting at Keyweb

Renewable energy. Efficient technology. Mindful use of resources.

As a hosting provider with our own data centers in Germany, we use renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies. Through modern cooling concepts, hardware that matches actual demand and a mindful use of resources, we are continuously working to optimize the energy consumption of our IT infrastructure.

With our sustainability concept KeyEco, we want to send a clearly visible signal of recognizably mindful business conduct at all levels of our company – from the energy-efficient operation of our data centers and hosting products with green electricity, to carefully managed processes in our everyday office and work life, to our social commitment, both within the company and for society.

Find out which specific measures we are taking to achieve this.

Energy-Efficient Data Centers

Through modern cooling technology, efficient hardware and targeted energy-saving measures, we optimize the power consumption of our data centers.

Hosting with green electricity

We only use electricity from renewable energy sources.

our data centers are powered by 100 % green electricity, which is generated from CO₂-neutral and environmentally friendly hydropower

in ecological terms, the electricity produced from running water is one of the most natural forms of electricity generation

Energy saving

We achieve energy efficiency on several levels.

our data centres only use the latest generation of climate cabinets – achieving energy savings of over 30 % by using free-running, backward-curved fans

the use of infinitely variable EC fans additionally improves energy balance, with up to 65% more efficiency compared to a 3-phase motor

at low outside temperatures, the free cooling also makes it possible for cooling to be generated completely by outside air, and thus compression energy can be saved

thanks to the principle of cold and warm aisles in combination with cold aisle containment , less and less energy is used

when it comes to choosing hardware and network components, we also save electricity by relying on state-of-the-art and especially energy efficient-verified brand hardware

Mindful use of resources in our everyday business

At Keyweb, sustainability extends from the actions of each individual employee, through the way projects are carried out, security, compliance and business conduct, to how we deal with stakeholders and taking responsibility for products and processes along the entire value chain. For us, Green IT or Green Hosting means that we take a wide range of measures to ensure a more mindful use of existing information and communication technology in our offices.
