Green Technology

All the cool kids are going green, and for good reason – with skyrocketing energy costs and global issues, there’s a lot at stake for you and your business! USCC offers services and solutions that maximize productivity while reducing your carbon footprint. Server Consolidation, Virtual PC services, and Energy Star compliant products all work together to make sure your technology is mean and green.

  • Server Consolidation

    Everyone loves green! Why not go green with your network? USCC’s Server Consolidation service moves the content and functions of multiple servers to a single server running VMWare. VMWare virtually recreates all of the servers that you need within one machine. This approach saves space, and reduces heat output, related cooling costs, and resultant electricity consumption. Simplify your servers and save the planet – it’s so easy being green!

  • Energy Star Compliance

    Energy Star… sounds like the way we will power our outer space colonies, right? Energy Star is actually a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy that focuses on furthering environmental protection by identifying and promoting energy efficient products. USCC is dedicated to the Energy Star mission, and therefore partners with IBM, one of the top suppliers of Energy Star certified servers and IT equipment. IBM products meet minimum standards for power supply efficiency, idle power use or enablement of processor level power management, and have the ability to communicate power and thermal data to data center management systems. Use Energy Star products, and do your part to protect the environment. Polar bears everywhere are counting on you!

  • Virtual PC

    Imagine purchasing computers for an office of 20 workers. That’s 20 computers, many of them running 24 hours-a-day, and eating up a hefty amount of electricity. You would opt for less powerful and cooler-running computers, but the software that the office uses needs a very powerful machine. USCC offers Thin Client solutions to customers who need a high level of functionality from their workstations, but don’t want to purchase expensive and powerful computers for every worker. Thin Client connects a workstation directly to a server, and allows the server to do all of the “heavy lifting”. The workstation simply acts as a window to the server – and the server becomes a “Virtual PC” within the workstation. This solution saves energy and money, all while ensuring the high level of functionality that your business requires.
