Along with our dominance in the I/O market comes a responsibility to supply environmentally-responsible products and solutions to our customers, as well as the authority and credibility to demand the same level of dedication from our suppliers and partners alike. We strive to reach these goals in two ways:

We deliver first-to-market I/O solutions that help data centers achieve meaningful Green IT objectives while reducing their operating costs. We practice what we preach with a socially-responsible corporate culture, environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes, and partnerships with industry leaders that share our vision.

Helping Build Green Data Centers
Data centers trust Adaptec to provide Green IT solutions that help them reduce their footprint and ease pressure on the bottom line while suffering no impact in I/O performance. In just the past year, we have set the I/O industry standard with the launch of Intelligent Power Management, which slashes storage-related energy consumption by up to 70%; Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection, which protects cached data without disposable lithium ion-powered battery backup units; and the MaxIQ™ SSD Cache Performance Kit, which stores frequently-read data in an SSD cache increasing server utilization and reducing the need for power-hungry, performance-oriented hard drives.

Additionally, Adaptec maintains the I/O industry’s fastest performance specs, allowing data centers to do more with less. With high-performance Adaptec storage controller cards, and Adaptec MaxIQ, data centers can add more users, more applications and more traffic to their networks without adding more energy-hungry servers and storage systems to their infrastructures.

Leading by Example Our commitment to the responsible use of environmental resources doesn’t stop with our products. Adaptec’s corporate culture is fully dedicated to keeping our carbon footprint small throughout our offices, where we encourage employees to adopt eco-friendly habits, and also in our facilities where we utilize socially- and environmentally-conscious manufacturing materials and techniques.

With the acquisition of Aristos Logic, Adaptec can deliver all of the key elements of storage technology – from software to silicon. The integration of Aristos Logic’s in-house chip design capabilities into our existing development process enables us to maintain rigid quality control and environmental standards throughout the manufacturing process.

Adaptec products are manufactured in accordance with strict government environmental regulations, including RoHS, which reduces the uses of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment; REACH, which dictates the safe use of certain chemicals, and WEEE, which imposes the responsibility for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment on the equipment manufacturers.

Green Partnerships
We can lead by example, but we know we can’t do it alone. That’s why we partner with key industry-leaders who are also committed to the enhancement of local, regional, and global environmental quality.
