Albany, NY – April 27, 2009: PBR Graphics, Inc. today announced the fruition of a energy saving initiative.

Since 1980, PBR Graphics, Inc. has supported more efficient use of resources. Internally, the Company has increased its efficiency in many ways. Some have been small, such as placing recycling containers throughout the office. Some actions have been more significant, including a 9 month program to “virtualize” the entire datacenter that runs our website’s file transfer, order placement and reorder system.

A plan that was initiated over two years ago with a goal to cut power consumption by 50% — while still offering our customers the same reliable, high speed web-based file transfer and ordering — has grown into a complete redesign of the datacenter. Working with our vendors, installation of new state of the art hardware and specialized software has now been completed. The result is a power consumption reduction of more than 65%, beating our goal substantially. As a bonus, processing speeds for our customers print jobs are now faster than before. PBR Graphics is proud to announce its continued efforts to be more efficient and green.
