"The way you run your IT can make a positive difference to your company's impact on climate change. Each physical server on your network consumes power, creates additional heat, requires constant cooling from air-conditioning systems and when decommissioned, much computer hardware adds to the landfill problem.

Considering that businesses are becoming more dependent on IT, not less, reducing the problem requires a new way of thinking and delivering business applications.

Mimecast helps. Our platform is developed and deployed on the Internet as a multi-site, multi-tenant shared grid and provides critical email management applications which leverage our smart network of robust 64bit servers. The power our software platform delivers on this shared infrastructure means we radically reduce the number of servers required across our expanding customer and partner base.

To quantify the benefit, we have calculated that without our innovative software platform, deploying similarly featured systems to clients' local networks would require around 250 times the number of physical servers. Therefore the financial and environmental efficiencies Mimecast delivers are quite profound.

This is one of the reasons our team and our partners are passionate about demonstrating the benefits of Mimecast to clients and prospects. Mimecast can save and make them money and help to contribute positively to the changes businesses need to make this decade."
