Sustainability

Small footprint, big impact

At Alces Flight, our sustainable methodology revolves around the ‘Four Pillars,’ where each element intersects to achieve long-term gains. These pillars encompass:

Installation/Acquistion of your Solution
Maintenance of your Solution
Evolution of your Solution
.. and how your solution works with people.

Our Core Beliefs

At Alces Flight we approach all projects with sustainability in mind. We have defined our four pillars of sustainability to reflect the growing needs of our community.

Installation: Eco-friendly hardware installation and recycling program.
Resource Acquisition: Alliance partnerships with tier-1 cloud and green facilities.
Maintenance: Subscription management to drive optimisation and leverage economy of scale.
People + Community: Collaborations with the HPC community, including DEI-focused groups.
Evolution: Transparent products and services for smart solution evolution.

Physical Impact

Working in supercomputing means working with hardware, regardless of location. At Alces Flight we take the integration, management, and decommissioning of hardware seriously. To date, we have adopted:

Eco-Friendly Practices: Utilise local recycling for cardboard and marked plastics, transport in custom modular cases, and work with electronics recycling for hardware disposal.
Sustainable Approach: Repurposing older systems for value retention, cost reduction, and streamlined workload transition.
Renewable Energy Partnerships: We actively pursue partnerships with renewable data centers and energy providers for our clients and partners.

At Alces, we are committed to ongoing ecological enhancements in hardware use.

The importance of community.

At Alces we understand the importance of building community. Thanks to our partnerships and outreach we get exposure to some of the best new ideas and practices. We are honoured to have been able to collaborate with:

Local and global communities: HPC SIG, N8 CIR, Society of Research Software Engineering (RSE UK), and Women in HPC (WHPC).
Renewable data centres and hardware: EcoDataCenter, Deep Green, Borealis.
Conference Series: Supercomputing (SC), International Supercomputing (ISC), Computing Insight UK (CIUK), and the HPC Knowledge Portal
Open Source Projects: OpenFlightHPC, OpenStack
