Round Tale

(The Hosting News) - ServInt, a pioneering provider of managed web hosting for businesses worldwide, celebrates its 15th anniversary this month. Since its founding in 1995 as one of the world’s original providers of enterprise managed hosting, ServInt has achieved 15 years of growth as a company. During that period, thousands of web-hosting providers have come and gone.

ServInt Founder and Chief Executive Officer Reed Caldwell said ServInt has built a loyal, global customer base by continually introducing innovative, scalable hosting solutions to solve the most complex technological challenges of web-based businesses. Those innovations include industry-leading Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Managed Dedicated Server solutions.

“We’ve been able to prosper for 15 years, which is much longer than most companies in our industry,” Caldwell said. “We have established our impressive track record by maintaining consistently high levels of customer satisfaction. We earn customer loyalty by addressing evolving client needs, and by providing personal support from a Managed Services Team of experienced professionals.”

ServInt’s Commitment to Climate-Positive Hosting

ServInt’s focus on innovation, longevity and sustainability is also reflected in its ongoing commitment to climate-positive hosting. Since 2008, ServInt’s Green Initiative has deployed multiple green methodologies to help customers operate with minimal environmental impact.

Through use of its efficient virtualization and cloud technologies – integrated with Parallels Virtuozzo Containers – ServInt’s hosting solutions feature optimally low per-capita energy consumption. ServInt solutions achieve this industry-leading energy efficiency while making exclusive use of Dell low-wattage server hardware, which provides high-performance while operating with a much smaller carbon footprint.

A recent Parallels study noted that ServInt’s virtualized servers require only 15 percent of the power footprint of a traditional server farm that is not optimized with virtualization and low-wattage technologies.

By implementing efficient technologies and participating in a large-scale reforestation campaign operated by American Forests, ServInt has offset the total carbon footprint of its entire line of VPS hosting solutions by at least 110 percent in each of the past two years. In 2010, ServInt is increasing its commitment to environmental sustainability by offsetting the carbon footprint of its standard product line, as well as its entire cloud infrastructure.

ServInt Chief Operating Officer Christian Dawson said, “The successful ongoing implementation of our Green Initiative has resulted in greater company-wide energy efficiency. By expanding this commitment, and exploring new ways to decrease waste and increase efficiency, we will continue to help our customers operate with minimal environmental impact.”
