We are therefore awfully happy with this partnership, because partners like LeaseWeb are necessary for the success of HP and for making energy-efficient and environment-friendly hosting platforms. By viewing the IT platform from an environmentally conscious viewpoint, firms can rein in their power usage, and also realize more hardware per square meter. They therefore not only contribute to bettering the environment but also rein in their costs.”.
