Sustainability starts with infrastructure choices

Hivenet uses distributed infrastructure instead of relying only on large centralized data centers. That shapes how we approach energy use, hardware, and efficiency across storage, file transfer, and compute.

A practical approach to infrastructure

Numbers only mean something when the assumptions behind them are clear. Scope, baseline, network conditions, and product type all affect the result.

That is why methodology matters as much as the headline. For the full model, sources, and boundaries, read the white paper on Store with Hivenet.

What affects environmental impact

Environmental impact does not come from one factor alone. It is shaped by infrastructure, hardware, energy, and operational choices.

Existing capacity

Using available capacity can reduce the need for new dedicated equipment and the footprint that comes with it.

Infrastructure model

A distributed model has a different operating profile from fully centralized, always-on infrastructure.

Reliability and maintenance

Durability still requires redundancy, monitoring, and upkeep. Efficiency comes from design choices, not shortcuts.

Electricity mix

Environmental impact also depends on where electricity comes from and how infrastructure is placed and managed.

How to evaluate the numbers

Numbers only mean something when the assumptions behind them are clear. Scope, comparison baseline, network conditions, and product type all affect the result.

That is why methodology matters as much as the headline. If you want the full model, sources, and boundaries, read the white paper about Store with Hivenet.

What is being compared?

The comparison depends on the baseline and the product or infrastructure model being measured.

What is included?

Results depend on the scope of the analysis, including infrastructure, operations, and energy assumptions.

Does this apply to every product in the same way?

Not necessarily. Impact varies by product and usage pattern.

Where can I see the full detail?

Sustainability is part of how we build products

For Hivenet, sustainability sits alongside control, reliability, and service design. The goal is to build products that are useful in practice and more efficient by design.

GPU Compute

RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 instances for AI inference, training, rendering, and scientific workloads. Per-second billing. Self-serve or managed. Regions: France, UAE, USA.

CPU Compute

vCPUs and virtual machines for batch processing, containers, and blockchain workloads. Per-second billing from €0.035/h. No GPU required.

Storage

S3-compatible object storage, file storage, and NVMe — on distributed infrastructure in France, UAE, and USA. No egress fees. Encrypted by default. Data residency enforced by architecture.
