Sustainability at Axess Systems

At Axess Systems, we’re not just discussing sustainability—we’re helping achieve it.  

We believe we all have a role to play in taking steps towards a more sustainable future in the communities in which we work. 

However, while working at the cutting edge of new technology, we must also be conscious of the impact that new technology, such as AI, can have on the environment.  

It is imperative that any increasing power demands for technology like AI be offset by the efficiencies and benefits that it achieves.  

It’s not just about having something shiny and new for the sake of it; it’s about the results it achieves. 

At Axess Systems, we have long seen the benefits of a sustainable approach to IT.  

Going back to 2008, we championed the benefits of centralising IT workloads with vendors such as Citrix to facilitate flexible working and reduce carbon emissions. We understood how this IT strategy would also facilitate work-life balance, innovative recruitment strategies, cost savings, and carbon emission reductions. 

And this holistic approach continues to this day with our core sustainability offerings, which include:  

Remote First Approach to Engineering and Support  

One of the ways we’re championing sustainability is through our Remote First approach to engineering and support.   

Thanks to our virtualisation specialisms, our staff are now able to deliver a lot of their work remotely. In these instances, they work from home/our offices and keep in touch with you via online meetings, support desks, and project management tools. This reduces the need for daily commuting on their part, meaning fewer carbon emissions and a lighter environmental footprint. 

Remote first means we can match you with the team member who best suits your business needs (as opposed to your postcode), and can quickly bring in extra people power to support when needed. Plus, our staff enjoy a better work-life balance without the constant travel, which keeps them happier and more energised to implement and support your projects.   

It’s a win-win situation: quicker solutions for you, a healthier work environment for our staff, and a positive impact on the planet.  

Liquid Immersion Cooling – Data Centre 

At Axess Systems, our liquid immersion cooling solutions offer a sustainable and cost-effective way to deliver your datacentre workloads, storage and DR. This technology lowers operational costs and minimises environmental impact by significantly reducing energy consumption and eliminating water use. 

Energy-Efficient Solutions from End User to Cloud and everything in between 

Working with our core hardware vendors, such as Dell Technologies, we’re keen to make every part of your IT infrastructure more sustainable—from the devices in your team’s hands to the cloud services running behind the scenes. 

Sustainable End Devices 

Swapping out old, power-hungry end-user devices for energy-efficient devices is a game-changer. Whether it’s thin clients, Microsoft Link 365, Chromebooks or modern laptops, these devices use considerably less energy than standard desktops.  

Optimising the Edge, Core and Cloud 

By fine-tuning your network’s edge, core and cloud aspects, we help you reduce energy use while boosting performance. It’s all about ensuring data moves efficiently without unnecessary energy draining your resources. 

Embracing the Circular Economy 

We’re big fans of the circular economy. That means we focus on: 

• Recycling and Refurbishing: Giving old devices a new lease on life instead of sending them to the landfill. 

• Responsible Sourcing: Choosing products designed to last, with materials that can be recycled when they’re finally done. 

By partnering with companies like Dell who share this vision, we’re helping to close the loop—turning would-be waste back into valuable resources. 

Supporting Our Community 

We’re firm believers that businesses should give back. That’s why we’re committed to making a positive impact in our local area. 

• Nurturing New Talent: Our apprenticeship programmes are all about helping local people develop skills and build careers in IT. We’re proud to be part of their journey. 

• Getting Involved Locally: From sponsoring local sports teams to volunteering at community events, we always seek ways to contribute and make a difference. 

• Healthier Ways to Work: Initiatives like our Bike to Work Scheme encourage our team—and yours—to opt for greener, healthier commutes.
