Jul 11, 2007 : ServerPlex Chooses Green Alternative

📅 July 11, 2007 - IT solutions provider ServerPlex Networks (serverplex.com -> hostinger.com) announced on Tuesday that it is replacing its entire fleet of ServerPlex Onsite vehicles with more fuel-efficient alternatives to better protect the environment.


Currently, the company owns 23 Mini Coopers, each averaging approximately 25 miles per gallon of gasoline in city driving. By replacing the entire fleet with Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles, ServerPlex says it hopes to average approximately 50 miles per gallon, thereby reducing its fuel usage by about half annually. The transition will cost the company about $250,000 over the course of a year.

The company will also reduce its energy use by converting its paper files to electronic versions through document imaging technology. With the conversion, the company expects to use about half of the paper it is currently using.

"As a company that strives to best serve the residents of our community, we feel an obligation to do everything we can to protect our environment," says Robert Marhamat, ServerPlex Networks business development manager. "Although ServerPlex Networks, in a global view, is merely a small part of the energy dependence crisis, today's announcement is a testament to the impact that one organization can have. By implementing the changes we have announced today, we will save tens of thousands of gallons of gasoline and thousands of pounds of paper products each year."
