D-Link, provider of networking and communication solutions, has upgraded environmental aspects of its Network Attached Storage (NAS) product line, and has introduced green packaging.
According to D-Link, the NAS upgrade is part of a plan for conserving energy and reducing waste. It features a hibernation function for the hard drive to conserve power during idle stages. In addition, smart fans installed in all NAS devices automatically turn off when the systems reach a low temperature state to reduce energy and noise.
D-Link says the NAS product line supports the EU's restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. It also meets the criteria for the US Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star.
Tony Tsao, CEO and president of D-Link, says: "By continuing to provide full product lines better suited to environmental and community needs, along with the use of green packaging in all of our product lines, our company is on pace towards accomplishing its green initiative."
D-Link is extending its green technology to include switches, broadband, WLAN and a digital home. The company says it is also planning the second generation of green Ethernet switches to be released in the future.
