Work Sustainably in the Green Cloud: Cloud & Heat Technologies GmbH provides users with cloud-based computing power. The servers used for the cloud are installed into buildings which are to be heated with the byproduct heat energy, and are connected via internet to a virtual data center. This technology makes the difficult and energy-intensive traditional cooling method of the servers unnecessary.
This innovative method connects the heating and server computing power markets in an intelligent way, and was awarded with multiple prizes due to the model's ecological and economical benefits. Our team of developers collaborated with the Dresden University of Technology to create the patented technology behind the idea. The companies and institutions that already use our sustainable services and products include Cloud Pharmaceutical Inc, German Stock Market for Cloud Exchange, and cloudControl.
