Cato Digital

Cato Digital is a pioneering company that is fully committed to building the world’s most sustainable bare metal platform. They leverage second-life hardware, stranded data center power capacity, and clean energy. Their mission is to tackle scope-3 emissions as their contribution to the iMasons Climate Accord.

The company offers low-carbon servers and bare-metal data centers. Their product line includes App Servers, Storage Servers, and soon-to-be-launched GPU Servers. The pricing varies by location and availability and is subject to change. The prices shown are with annual prepayment, calculated as a 30-day month.

Cato Digital’s Flex Metal aligns with modern hybrid cloud architecture while utilizing low-carbon resources and keeping costs low. To help customers achieve the best possible price, their App Servers are deployed with an expectation of temporary use. Individual failures are handled by spreading services across multiple instances, if not multiple pods, for redundancy.

Customers can easily spin up and tear down instances through Cato Digital’s API. This allows them to scale their applications on demand without needing dedicated infrastructure. This aligns with the dynamic nature of modern, scalable architecture, where workloads are distributed across multiple environments.

By using Flex Metal instances, customers can take full advantage of the agility and scalability of the cloud while reducing costs and improving efficiency. Most of the embodied carbon impact from Cato Digital’s systems is already offset before they are even deployed.

Cato Digital also deploys its patented power orchestration software to use wasted power capacity at data centers, further improving the circular equation. Their software orchestrates excess data center power to maximize server utilization, enabling low-cost, low-carbon computing.

It is built on the same ADI (Autonomous Digital Infrastructure) platform as their M9 for Colo product, which allows Colo providers to create new flexible SLA product offerings for their tenants.

Cato Digital is tackling a significant issue. There are 7 million data centers globally, with 105 gigawatts of built capacity consuming 594 Terawatt hours of energy annually, or 2.4% of the global energy draw. Over 30 gigawatts of data center power capacity worldwide remains unused—this is not economically or ecologically sustainable.

Their premise for the future of digital infrastructure is simple: Use what we have before we build more. This approach makes economic sense and contributes significantly to environmental sustainability.

In conclusion, Cato Digital is a forward-thinking company leveraging technology and innovation to create sustainable solutions for digital infrastructure. They provide cost-effective solutions for their customers and contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmental sustainability.
