FGSI & Your Data Room

By choosing to go with FGSI, you may qualify for a zero cost refresh of your existing servers. You'll also be doing your bit for global CO2 emissions, and there are even more savings that you could achieve. There is a minimum trade in of 4 discrete CPU sockets of server, which is swapped for 4 discrete CPU sockets worth of new equipment. VeryPC GreenServers have power consumptions of up to 50% less than many other commonly used servers on the market. With a power factor of up to and above 90%, additional capacity in infrastructure can be achieved. We could improve all of the following:

  • Extra capacity in input electricity
  • Extra capacity in UPS equipment
    • Our high density Janus II units of 2 servers requires about 350VA
  • Extra capacity in cooling
  • More space
    • VeryPC GreenServers offer up to 84, 8 core servers, per cabinet
  • Support for virtualisation technologies
    • Decommission more servers than you trade in!

When you trade in, you don't have to produce the old servers straight away, you have 3 months to have the old servers ready for collection.
