All Renewable IT.

In today’s world, energy is scarce and a costly resource to waste. Today’s information technology industry is a substantial consumer of energy, using billions of kilowatts of electricity every year. Its impact on the global environment is also vast and mostly underestimated. Energy use continues to increase nationwide, energy prices continue to rise, and energy infrastructure continues to age. At the same time, pollutant emissions, including greenhouse gases, continue to further degrade the atmosphere, threatening more severe changes in climate. Consumers are paying more for energy than ever before and prices are more volatile. With toxic chemicals generated during manufacturing and the improper and insufficient recycling of computer products, information technology is a noteworthy source of pollution. As part of our mission, we strive to save energy, not only in our own data centers but also at your homes and businesses.

Volofi ® - The Green Future

VoloFi® is the first of its kind to bring the benefits of virtualization to the desks of home users. Our aim is not only to make businesses and data centers greener, but also to transform your personal desktop into an environment-friendly device by reducing its energy consumption. From a financial point of view, virtualization can help reduce IT energy costs by $30 to $100 per computer per year by pooling virtual hardware resources along with the use of thin clients at the customers’ end.

Because of their shorter lifespan and underutilized hardware resources, desktop computers are the biggest contributor to IT-rooted environmental pollution. Decommissioned computer parts are one of the biggest pollution threats in the electronics industry. The manufacturing and inappropriate disposing of these parts release toxic and hazardous materials into the environment. VoloFi’s goal is to provide a virtual desktop solution that will address these issues.

Virtualization – The GreenIT

The use of our virtualization technology dramatically increases the lifespan of computing devices at both the users’ end, and also on our server side. This makes computer hardware recycling much more easy and efficient. Furthermore, your footprint on the environment will be further reduced as you will no longer need to upgrade your computer and discard old components over the years. Thus VoloFi can help greatly in reducing power consumption as well as greenhouse gas discharge into the eco-system.

Virtualization also helps businesses lower their energy consumption and make a positive contribution to the environment. VoloFi® is helping the IT industry improve its power efficiency by bringing the latest virtualization technologies into play; by enhancing power usage of servers, storage and other IT hardware resources.

In the short-term, VoloFi reduces a company’s IT footprint by converting traditional energy-guzzling desktops into energy-efficient thin client.

In the long-term, VoloFi® helps in minimizing any further damage to the environment from the IT industry and takes an important step towards making IT completely green.


About Volofi
''ICT is now responsible for around 2% of global CO2 emissions. The public sector, with annual IT spending of £14bn, has an important role to play in reducing this two percent. An increased focus on sustainable procurement and efficient use of IT products are two key areas that it needs to work on.
