"One of the most intersting hosting providers I have ever come across happens to be Romoland, California-based AISO.net, also now in its tenth year of business, and still the world's only hosting provider running entirely on self-generated solar power."

"We needed to make changes to our IT infrastructure to reduce power consumption levels and still maintain the responsiveness and high availability that our 15,000 international clients demand, said NetApp customer Phil Nail, founder and chief technology officer of AISO.net, a Web-hosting service provider."

"Phil Nail, Technology Manager of Affordable Internet Services Online (AISO.net) told TopHosts that they currently stand alone within the industry as a truly green Web host. The company provides a 100% solar powered operation, their own environmentally friendly designed data center, and a redundant solar powered network, on their own land in Romoland, California."

"Phil Nail is ahead of most IT managers in adopting so-called green technologies. His company a Web hosting firm known as AISO.Net uses solar panels that generate electricity to power its data centre and main office."

"Internet services provider AISO.net plans to put about three to four inches of dirt on the roof of its data center and plant bush-type, drought resistant plans. The green roof will cost Romoland, Calif.-based firm about $30,000 to cover 2,000 square feet over a data center that houses about 300 servers. AISO believes the green roof may cut data center cooling needs by half."

"About two hours south of Los Angeles in the desert town of Romoland, Calif., sits a 2,000-square-foot building made of sheet metal. Gigantic soalr arrays flank each side of the structure that looks out on a dirt road, punctuated by a single sign that says "Burro Crossing Next Mile.""

"One U.S.-based company that originally went green in 2001 is AISO.net. Established in 1997, AISO.net serves clients from over 150 countries worldwide through the power of the sun. So what does AISO.net do to ensure their services are powered by natural power?"

"Affordable Internet Services Online, Inc.'s roughly 300 servers run Web sites across the world, from Kenya to California, and it is of the utmost importance to have zero failure rates.
