GPORTAL CARES ABOUT THE PLANET

We at GPORTAL are aware of the responsibility we have towards our planet. Here we show you the measures we take as a company to decrease our carbon footprint. We also show you what you can do to help.

we focus on renewable Energy

Our server locations in Cologne, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt already run on 100% renewable energy. And this is just the beginning, the share of renewable energy in all our locations around the globe is steadily increasing!

we focus on renewable Energy

We power down unused servers

Electricity is valuable to us, thus we power down servers that are no longer needed immediately and automatically. This allows us to save thousands of kilowatts of electricity annually compared to other server hosts.

we choose energy efficient CPUs

Not all CPUs are the same. To save energy and make the best use of it, we only use CPUS that have the best energy efficiency. Always pay attention to the hardware you use, each one can make a difference!

We rely on energy-efficient cooling systems

At GPORTAL, we rely on data centers equipped with energy-saving air conditioning systems that cool with up to 90% fresh air. The exhaust and supply air control is computer-controlled and an innovative separation of hot and cold air is achieved. Thanks that we have a better PUE factor, which means that we need less electricity to cool down the same amount of servers.

Running a game server for a year has the same CO2 emissions as 3/4 of a frozen pizza!
