Press Release Summary: Technology specialist Codestone has helped world-renowned Kew
Gardens to reduce its carbon footprint.

Press Release Body: Technology specialist Codestone has helped world-renowned Kew
Gardens to reduce its carbon footprint.

The Poole-based firm, which specialises in VMWare, was asked to help the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew reduce its IT Hardware and resultant energy consumption.

James D. Stallard, the Chief Technical Architect at Kew, said: "The IT Department
tries wherever possible to minimise the environmental impact of its work, and we're
getting better all the time.

"Codestone has provided us with software that will reduce some of our IT-related
carbon emissions by around three quarters, reducing our support burden, improving
ease of
Management and bringing considerable cost savings.\"

"I hope that with their expertise in VMWare this will be the start of an ongoing
relationship with Kew."

VMWare Virtual Infrastructure 3 uses Virtual Server Technology to radically reduce
the number of physical servers, bringing reductions in power consumption, storage
space and air conditioning to cool them, which in turn leads to upwards of 75%
reduction in carbon emissions for each server virtualised.

Morad Molavi, of Codestone, said: "We're delighted to be working alongside an
organisation as prestigious as the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Codestone is an
accredited VMWare Enterprise Partner and this work with Kew is a reflection of our
expertise and commitment in the field.

"We're very keen to promote the steps that businesses can take to reduce their
carbon footprint and gain efficiencies. We also specialise in Citrix - a technology
allowing people to work from home, saving unnecessary commuting."

establishment, works with 400 volunteers and employs more than 700 people. Kew is
