Another interview for our COO and Head of Still Images Department, Massimiliano Napoli. This time, we had the pleasure of having a chat with the guys from Helio, a Zürich-based startup with a compelling vision for global sustainable computing.

It is an evidence: in 2022, minimizing our impact on the planet in everything we do is more necessary than ever (if we don’t want to go straight to the apocalypse). We love our work and want to continue doing it, but in the most sustainable way possible.

As the industry colleagues and the most experienced already know, data centers emit as much carbon dioxide as the air travel industry. More than that, 80-90% of global server capacity sits idle, wasting energy and money. Helio Cloud Rendering matches sellers with spare compute capacity with buyers, who can run workloads at cheaper prices.

Therefore, as well as offering other benefits such as speed, the startup demonstrates that better resource utilisation can significantly reduce the industry contributions to global warming, and we are proud to be part of this change.
