 | Conserving energy
reason We carefully select hardware that delivers the highest computing performance per Watt of power consumption. We developed and implemented a unique IT architecture that best achieves availability, reliability, and performance while reducing energy use. We only run the necessary servers, enable all power-save features, and make extensive use of virtualization software. |
 | Using local raw materials
reason The majority of our building's materials came from Montana with only two suppliers located in Wyoming. |
 | Reducing paper use
reason We use little or no paper in all of our operations, the majority of communication is digital. |
 | Recycling program
reason We recycle cans, paper, plastic and cardboard. |
 | Preserving wildlife habitat
reason Have created a wildlife habitat within the Transtech Center. |
 | Reducing waste
reason Through virtualization, the amount of servers required for hosting is much less, saving all of the material that goes into a server which has a typical average lifespan of 5 years. |
 | Paying living wages to employees
reason All positions start well above $10/hr. |
 | Minimizing use of non-renewables
reason Reducing all of the plastic that would be in non-virtualized servers reduces the amount of non-renewable petroleum needed. |
 | Resource monitoring
reason We monitor and manage the temperature and power usage of our entire facility. All lights are on sensors for maximum energy savings. |
 | Employee educational subsidies
reason We have on-going technology training for employees, including seminars, workshops, and webinars. |
 | Conserving natural resources
reason Through monitoring and energy-efficient design, we conserve many resources that are required to produce energy. |
 | Energy efficient equipment
reason We use Energy Star rated computer equipment, including printers and monitors. Our servers are top-of-the-line, energy-efficient models. |
 | Contributing to local tax base
reason We support the local economy in many ways, including taxes and road improvements. |
 | Donating to non-profits
reason We support youth sport programs as well as other non-profits through donations. Many of our team members serve on the boards of local non-profits. We also offer healthy savings for non-profits looking for hosting or to store servers. |
 | Employee benefits program
reason Health insurance, 401k match program, sick/vacation time, and other benefits. |
