Moving forward, NACIO will continue to do business under the name NACIO2, reflecting the next-generation management team and business strategy.
Mr. Daly commented, “We’ve all worked very hard over the recent 12-month period to build a cohesive team around customer value and what makes us different. Now with new management and a total-solution strategy in place, we’re very excited about our prospects for our fiscal year. NACIO2 is truly positioned to offer power, price, reliability, and customer service advantages unmatched anywhere in the region.”

Green Power Initiative Underway at NACIO2
March 5, 2008 (Novato, CA): In conjunction with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) programs offered for commercial data centers, NACIO Systems has commenced an initiative to reduce energy consumption by at least 15% before the end of 2008. Using the PG&E carbon footprint calculator, the projected savings will be equivalent to at least 187,311 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year, or the same footprint generated from burning almost 10,000 gallons of gasoline.
This program involves a comprehensive 3rd-party energy audit and analysis of NACIO2 operations to identify power and cooling systems among other best practices for optimization and infrastructure upgrades scheduled for implementation by Q3 2008.
CEO, Carey Daly, commented, “Going ‘green’ is more than a marketing ploy for our data center, it’s about improving capabilities and operational efficiency while cutting costs, thus providing a significant competitive advantage. But at the same time, we’re making an investment in a more sustainable future for everyone living on this planet. Because of PG&E and government incentives available today, the pay-back period just makes sense.”
NACIO2 will continue to use our Support Alert Network notifications to keep customers abreast of ongoing developments. Currently, no interruption of services is expected as a result of our internal modifications.
