Press Release Summary = Codestone installs VM Ware to help companies reduce their
carbon footprint

Press Release Body = TECHNOLOGY specialist Codestone is making a stand for the
environment by helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint.

The Poole-based firm is doing its bit close to home, reducing IT related carbon
emissions by an estimated three quarters.

As a VM Ware Enterprise Partner Codestone provides solutions designed to reduce the
amount of hardware required, bringing a tangible reduction in energy consumption.

"More and more companies are interested in reducing their environmental impact - as
well as the reduction in climate change, there are real cost savings", said Simon
Fenech, infrastructure sales manager at Codestone.

He added: "A typical company has 10 servers - we can now reduce that to two or
three, each one containing around four virtualised servers with no impact on
performance.

"Having three machines instead of 10 brings reductions in power consumption,
required office space and air conditioning needed to cool them leading, in turn to a
reduction in carbon emissions.

"It's a 75 per cent reduction in machines, power and cooling and a big cost saving."

In the past 18 months Codestone has also seen sales of Citrix soar - the technology
allows people to work from home reducing time spent commuting and cutting their
carbon footprint.

A carbon footprint is the measure of human activity resulting in greenhouse gases -
namely carbon dioxide - thought to erode the Ozone Layer and contribute to global
warming.
