Sustainability at Flexential
We are committed to sustainable practices
Sustainability is in Our DNA
At Flexential, we believe that to thrive and win in the competitive marketplace you need a partner whose IT infrastructure solutions and expertise go beyond the traditional four walls of a data center to embody the hybrid IT approach your business needs today—and will need in the future.
Going beyond four walls includes a focused effort on ensuring the entire lifecycle of Flexential’s facilities is designed and executed with sustainability in mind, and that our company and employees support socially responsible efforts in the communities where we live and work.

- NextGen SuperCRAC cooling to maximize efficiency
- Standby generators are equipped with oxidation catalysts to reduce carbon particulate pollution
Managing the Fleet
Using established targets, Flexential will invest in updating our legacy fleet of data centers to improve efficiency and sustainability.
