Mittwald is a german hosting company - They presented their experiences with sustainability challenges inside their infrastructure, but also with weaving sustainability into product offerings:
- Presenting options like automatic website badges and CCF Calculators for customers as opt-in
- Enabling users to use more efficient image formats and compression techniques with one-click
- Change of cooling from room level to server level can backfire
- Solar panels on the roof can help easily, but provide only marginal effects for high-density consumers like datacenters.
