ATLANTA, July 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cbeyond Inc. (NASDAQ:CBEY, news, filings), a leading provider of cloud and network services to small and mid-sized businesses, today announced that its cloud servers were voted a top money-saving product for 2012 by the editors of BUILDINGS magazine. Cbeyond’s cloud servers were recognized for their ability to help buildings significantly reduce energy consumption, decrease capital expenses and improve operational efficiency.
Power can represent as much as 71 percent of costs in a typical office building, according to National Grid. With summer temperatures and power bills soaring, building owners and managers seeking innovative money-saving ideas can turn to Cbeyond. Outsourcing power-hungry servers helps lower costs plus aid in efforts to achieve Energy Star and LEED certifications.
“Energy costs can drain the profits from an office building,” said Chris Ortbals, vice president of cloud services product management at Cbeyond. “By outsourcing server equipment management, building managers can shift some of the burden to Cbeyond. They get the added benefit of reducing their environmental footprint.”
Cbeyond’s award-winning cloud data center was recently cited in a Green Data Center report by Pike Research for its utilization of multiple energy-optimization strategies.
