Solar Web hosting company powers Live Earth sites
"The Web hosting company chosen to power the Web sites for this
weekend's Live Earth concerts adopts an environmentally friendly
business plan: Let the sunshine in.Affordable Internet Services
Online (AISO) has been hired to power the Web sites from its
100 percent solar-powered Web hosting facility in Romoland,
California, north of San Diego. The company's green philosophy
fits with the theme of the concerts to raise awareness of the
issue of global climate change. The concerts are to be held
around the clock July 7 in Shanghai, Tokyo, London, New York,
and other cities. Organizers of the Live Earth event say the
concert venues will be carbon neutral with electricity to power
musicians' amplifiers and microphones coming from renewable
energy sources.AISO has been using the renewable energy of the
sun to power its data center since 2001, said Phil Nail, CTO
for the 10-year-old company.AISO will operate two Live Earth
sites, one for the concert and the other to track pledges. Live
Earth is not seeking financial donations but asks people to
pledge to adopt a carbon-neutral lifestyle. Other Web hosting
companies advertise themselves as "green," Nail said, but they
often simply buy carbon offsets rather than actually improve
their own energy efficiency.
Affordable Internet also has installed solar tubes, shafts that
run from the roof of a building to the ceiling in a room, to
light the data center's interior. It also irrigates a rooftop
garden with recycled water from the data center's cooling system.
Affordable Internet, with 15,000 customers, has attracted prospective
customers from as far away as the U.K. to host their Web sites
because they are seeking out carbon-neutral hosting services"
