About the Eco-Products Awards

The Eco-Products Awards were established in 2004 to promote the development and spread of eco-friendly products in Japan by honoring products and services (eco-products) that reduce the burden on the environment.

About FGCP/S5

The FGCP/S5 service draws on the large-scale server and storage resources installed in Fujitsu datacenters to provide customers with their own dedicated virtual platform environment via a network connection. This enables them to use the resources they need right when they are needed.

The FGCP/S5 service involves virtual servers, and as such it offers customers the same level of security and reliability as dedicated physical servers. Since the expansion of the service to six locations around the world (Japan, Australia, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany) in June 2011, it has made a significant contribution to reducing energy usage on a global basis, decreasing the volume of CO2 emissions by approximately thirty thousand tons per year, while also reducing the space required for ICT resources.
