Web hosting provider AISO.Net has been selected by Inc. Magazine to its inaugural list of "The Green 50," a list of the nation's most successful environmentally responsible companies. The honor includes featured coverage on both the Inc.com web site and the November 2006 issue of Inc. Magazine.

AISO.Net, California's first and only solar-powered hosting company based in Romoland, California, has been providing environmentally friendly web hosting services since 1997. Using solar panels to power its data center and network, AISO.Net hosts web sites and dedicated servers for customers throughout the US and many other parts of the world. AISO.Net is the only true 100% solar powered data center that does not use green energy credits. They are proving their commitment to be the best, most reliable eco-friendly hosting company in the world. In 2007 eco-friendly hosting company AISO.Net will become the first and only public data center in North America to add a green roof to their facility.

The company hosts web sites and dedicated servers for customers throughout the US and many other parts of the world. Due to their massive growth of web hosting and dedicated server clients, AISO.Net just recently chose to virtualize their hosting solution. Using VMware and NetApps' clustered SAN (storage area network) solution to enhance their data center and reduce electricity usage. The VMware and NetApp solution also provides a high end, scalable infrastructure solution for their dedicated and shared hosting clients. AISO is moving all of their physical servers into virtual machines, which in turn will reduce power consumption and will be better for their clients and the environment.

"The Green 50 award is well timed as we migrate all of our physical machines and our clients' machines into this new redundent virtual environment," says Phil Nail, technology manager for AISO.Net. "Inc. magazine was able to see that we are trying to help the environment in many ways on top of being a solar powered data center and has chosen to shine a spotlight on our business. It is our hope that the Green 50 will serve as examples to promote the idea that there are ways to profitably do the right thing for our environment."
