Service Express has developed an offering with IBM which helps our clients modernise IT infrastructure securely while helping to reduce energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know many organisations are looking to modernise IT systems in the most cost-effective way, while dealing with the security vulnerabilities of complex digital supply chains. That\u2019s why we have worked with IBM to offer a specialty cloud solution<\/a> to our customers for the first time. Comprising the IBM Power10 server with support through Red Hat Enterprise Linux, clients will have the flexibility to move sensitive data and workloads to wherever they are needed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Power10\u2019s advanced security features provide added layers of security at the infrastructure level to help clients fend off ransomware attacks and other security threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) goals are at the top of the agenda for many organisations, which don\u2019t want their digital transformation to compromise their ability to be more energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why it is so important that by leveraging the new solution, we are also bolstering the sustainability credentials of Service Express\u2019s cloud offering. Sustainability has long been high on our agenda, leading to our decision in 2010 to open a data centre designed to Tier IV industry standards \u2013 the highest-class certification available.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service Express\u2019s new implementation of IBM\u2019s Power10 server ensures energy usage will be lowered by eight times<\/strong> compared to previous architectures <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Making data centres more energy efficient <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The world\u2019s data centres currently consume about 1% of the global electricity supply, so it\u2019s crucial that our industry invests in technology that maximises data centre energy efficiency. This is where IBM\u2019s Power10 comes in. It uses IBM\u2019s first 7nm processor<\/a>, providing three times greater energy efficiency <\/a>than its predecessor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“IBM Power10 is enabling Service Express to re-think our product portfolio, ensuring sustainability underpins all our offerings”, says Darren Smith, Head of Product & Innovation at Service Express Europe. “Leveraging IBM\u2019s hybrid cloud platform will not only enable our clients to accelerate their digital transformations securely, it will also support their efforts to meet ambitious energy efficiency goals and reduce their carbon footprints.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Service Express\u2019 giant leap towards a more sustainable future <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The powerful new capabilities of our new specialty cloud offering and its scalability-focused design offers competitive advantages for environmentally-minded organisations. Just six IBM Power10 servers can perform the role of 32 servers from the preceding generations<\/a>. Out of those six, only four need to be allocated as production environments. This leads to a number of benefits that help clients address their sustainability goals, such as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
