The rating system and carbon offset commitment are part of wider “greener cloud” initiative.
OnApp has announced a new “greener cloud” initiative to help minimize cloud infrastructure CO2 emissions, and reduce the impact of OnApp clouds on climate change.
OnApp cloud management software powers cloud services for hosting companies, MSPs and Telcos in 93 countries. OnApp’s green initiative includes a new energy rating scheme for these OnApp cloud providers; a commitment to pay the carbon offset cost for all cloud compute infrastructure managed using OnApp software; and an upcoming grant scheme that will enable environment-oriented start-ups to apply for funding to help bring their ideas to fruition.
