Sustainability at ]init[: Energy efficiency and responsibility

We use our resources carefully. This is most evident in our commitment to a resource-efficient data center.

01

Efficient energy technology

We purchase electricity from 100 percent renewable energies at all our locations. As smart offices, newly occupied office buildings are equipped with energy-optimized heating, air conditioning and lighting technology. We even retrofit older buildings with modern sensors to increase energy efficiency. In 2021, we were able to reduce our CO2 emissions by 27 percent compared to the previous year and by 67 percent compared to 2019.

02

Transparency for research

We operate one of three reference data centers in Germany with which the Federal Environment Agency researches the relationship between environmental, energy and cost efficiency in data center operation. For the KPI4DCE 2.0 project, we make key figures and indicators absolutely transparent.

03

Holistic Data Center Management

Due to multiple redundancy and reserve capacities, power consumption in the data center is high. We compensate for the energetic base load through particularly high energy and resource productivity. Oeko-Institut e. V. is researching this so-called rebound effect with our help in the MERU project.

04

Load-oriented energy efficiency

If less computing power is required, we go into power-saving mode. The fine-grained monitoring and adaptive control of our server systems detects when the performance of which components can be reduced – for example at night and on weekends. This Auto Scaling allows us to dynamically scale resources and helps to save valuable energy.
