3PAR Carbon Neutral Storage Program

3PAR is committed to reducing both the energy requirements and the environmental impact of storage in the datacenter. As part of this commitment, at the start of 2008 we extended our Carbon Neutral Storage initiative. This program funds the purchase of offsets equivalent to one metric ton of CO2 for each terabyte of 3PAR Utility Storage sold with 3PAR Thin Provisioning. The outcome is effectively 100% carbon neutral storage

3PAR Thin Provisioning enables customers to spend less on capacity. But another critical benefit is its energy savings. Thin Provisioning actually gives you the ability to support your storage needs with fewer disk drives—up to 75% fewer. With 3PAR Thin Provisioning, you can cut energy consumption and the production of greenhouse gasses while saving on capacity and energy costs.

Offsets funded by the Carbon Neutral Storage initiative take these benefits one step further. These offsets are purchased through TerraPass at the end of each quarter.

We've kept our promise. To date, 3PAR's Carbon Neutral Storage program has funded the purchase of more than 8,700 metric tons of CO2 emission offsets. Between these offsets and the disk capacity savings from green storage technologies like 3PAR Thin Provisioning, we estimate that 3PAR customers have achieved a total CO2 emissions reduction of more than 17,000 metric tons since the program began in 2007—the equivalent of removing more than 3,000 cars from the road for an entire year!
