U.S. EPA Recognizes vXchnge in Top 30 Tech & Telecom Green Power Users List

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- vXchnge, a leading carrier-neutral colocation services provider, announced today that they have been recognized in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Top 30 Tech and Telecom Companies list of the largest green power users from the Green Power Partnership. vXchnge's choice to use green power is helping to advance the green power market and support clean renewable energy alternatives, along with other power users who made the list, including Apple, Google, Iron Mountain, Samsung, Microsoft and Sony.

Green power is zero-emissions electricity that is generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, eligible biomass, and low-impact hydro. Using green power helps build demand for the development of new renewable energy capacity nationwide and helps users reduce their carbon footprints. vXchnge utilizes green power in many of its data centers, and the Company is continually investing in implementing sustainable practices for efficient power usage as well as cooling operations.

"As a leading 'edge' colocation services provider, we are thrilled to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for our green power use," said Keith Olsen, CEO of vXchnge. "Our choice to use renewable energy goes hand in hand with our business strategy of investing in new technologies across our broad footprint to increase data center efficiencies and resiliencies. Customers expect their brands to be protected with vXchnge."

"We congratulate vXchnge for its use of green power and for taking a leadership position on the environment," said James Critchfield, Manager of the Green Power Partnership.
