Azul is First IT Vendor to Provide Carbon Offsets for the Life of
Each Product
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Azul Systems, a leading provider of enterprise class application
performance and data center consolidation solutions for Java
applications, today announced its Green in Mind Commitment today, an
initiative dedicated to consistently acting in an environmentally
conscious way in all aspects of business. The Green in Mind Commitment
furthers the company's dedication to operate in an
environmentally-friendly way.
With its Green in Mind Commitment, the company is now expanding
its efforts to preserve the environment beyond simply offering a
solution to customers that has green benefits. As part of its Green in
Mind Commitment, Azul announced an industry first - that it will
offset all carbon emissions attributed to each of its products sold
for the life of each product's deployment. Azul is the first IT vendor
to take this step.
Additional aspects of the Green in Mind Commitment include carbon
offsets for employees' commutes and business travel and urging
employees to live a more environmentally conscious life outside of the
office.
"With the number of enterprises adopting green IT practices
jumping from 25% to 38% in 2007, we expect IT managers will take a
hard look at technologies that can help them reach their goals of more
efficient and sustainable IT operations in 2008 and beyond," wrote
Forrester analyst Chris Mines, Senior Vice President, Forrester
Research in "Green IT Nudges Tech Adoption" (March 2008).
"Since its inception, Azul has been focused on generating
technology that allows customers to reduce power consumption, and now
the Green in Mind Commitment is our official stand on operating in an
environmentally conscious fashion in all aspects of the business,"
stated Scott Sellers, President, CEO, and Co-Founder of Azul Systems.
"It's important for each company and individual to do their part in
preserving our environment and Azul is dedicated to doing that as well
as helping our customers in their green efforts."
Azul Systems' technology provides its customers with a solution
that improves and increases the performance of Java applications while
also consolidating their data center. The Vega 3 offloads processing
power from existing servers in the data centers, allowing customers to
remove servers, increase utilization, and reduce power consumption and
the associated costs.
Today Azul Systems also announced the availability of the Vega 3,
continuing to build upon its established excellence in
business-critical Java applications.
