If you need to deploy your own servers, keep the following suggestions in mind:

• Deploy “as-a-Service” solutions (SaaS) that can provide better agility and efficiency to curb overprovisioning
• Virtualize your datacentre equipment to deploy in cloud environment that enables servers optimization. a VM consumes less energy at 75KWh/ year, versus 1,5KWH/yer for a normal server.
• For large scale companies, you could consider hyperscale datacentres. They are claimed to be the future of datacentres and they show critical and decisive breakthrough for energy saving.
  > High level of performance, flexibility to go for either super performant servers or just plain ones
  > Strong reliability
  > All IT layers are being automated to save power and human actions> Innovative and continuously improving
  > Deployed for a maximum of customers in order to avoid idle servers to be powered

Before deploying your own servers, consider either choosing a hosting company or deploying your own infrastructures.

To make this extremely simple (and some cases can prove us wrong here), bigger companies should always consider deploying hybrid infrastructures (public cloud for non-critical data and private cloud for highly valuable data). These hybrid infrastructures can be versatile: they can be internal and monitored by the company itself, but they can also use bulk offers from hosting companies for money-saving, strategic or other purposes. But in the end, huge companies with strong focus on data (banking, retail...) should always have a bigger part of their infrastructures owned by themselves.

However, for SME, going through hosting companies is quite the best because they would save money and time creating their own - partly useless (or at best under-used) - infrastructures. This is why choosing a green host could be a great incentive. Sustainable and definitely best for your resources! See our solution below "Choose a Green Host".
