The Postal Service is reducing power consumption in its data centers with a technology that allows multiple applications to run on a single server. Called virtualization, this ongoing process increases the utilization of available server resources, and has eliminated the need to purchase 4,000 servers.
In 2010, over 34,000 Energy Star printers were deployed to support printing and image needs. Fewer printers and less paper are now used as part of this initiative, which reduced the number of stand-alone printers through networking and decreased pages printed by switching the default setting to two-sided printing. Printer paper used is at least 30 percent post-consumer recycled content and a recycling program is in place for ink and toner cartridges.
