A.Vogel websites powered by sustainably-produced electricity from
Rätia Energie
From the lush natural surroundings of Graubünden Switzerland comes
PurePower Graubünden: water, sunlight, wind and bio-mass are the
ingredients of this eco-energy. Even the power for the Internet server
hosting the A.Vogel/Bioforce websites now comes from this source.
It
is widely known that A.Vogel’s cultivation and harvesting of medicinal
plants, together with the production of natural remedies and food is
as natural as possible. And now this also applies to the management
of our websites. A.Vogel has created the“Green Server” label especially
for this purpose. It will be used on the A.Vogel websites to clearly
identify the company’s commitment to nature and health.
Virtualisation
and energy efficiency To keep the resources required for running the
A.Vogel/Bioforce websites as low as possible, A.Vogel also uses
server virtualisation. This enables the best possible use to be made of
existing resources (CPUs, memory). When choosing hardware components
too, maximum efficiency is the guiding principle so that as little
electricity as possible is wasted as heat. The operation of a website
requires more than just a server – a rapid Internet connection is also
essential. A.Vogel therefore operates its servers in one of
Switzerland’s best computing centres which, as a member of the
organisation known as “The Green Grid”, satisfies high standards of
energy efficiency.
A.Vogel’s websites are operated in 12 countries
worldwide, and their number is growing constantly. To protect the environment, all of the websites' hosting
infrastructures are powered by ecologically-produced electricity.
What has always been a matter of course for natural remedies and food
products from A.Vogel is now also being used for the globally-operational
company's websites: the sustainable use of nature and its
resources lies at the heart of everything we do.
