Figures measured over [PÉRIODE]. Calculation details in the method below.
HOW IT'S POSSIBLE
01
Our servers are installed in an existing building in the old town of Besançon. No construction, no land taken.
02
Raspberry Pi micro-servers that each use a few watts, where a conventional server uses much more. [AJOUTER UNE RÉFÉRENCE SOURCÉE]
03
Several sites share the same machine, sized to their actual needs. Fewer unused resources, less wasted energy.
LOCAL AND SOVEREIGN
Hosting close to you also means fewer intermediaries, a contact person you can meet, and data that never leaves the European Union.
TRANSPARENCY
A figure without a method is worthless. Here is exactly how we get our results, so that you can check them.
A [MODÈLE] power meter continuously measures the electricity consumption of the whole rack (servers, network, power supply), read every [FRÉQUENCE].
Average consumption over [PÉRIODE] is divided by the number of active sites over the same period: that gives the figure of 0,17 W per site.
The kWh used are multiplied by the emission factor of the French electricity mix ([X] gCO₂e/kWh, source: [ADEME Base Empreinte, année]).
Results are updated [FRÉQUENCE DE PUBLICATION] and the history remains available on this page.
Hosting always has an impact. We prefer to reduce and measure it rather than erase it with slogans.
ECO-DESIGN
We apply to our own site what we recommend to our customers.
