What we stand for 100% of profits for the planet We use all our profits for climate action, with the majority going into tree-planting projects around the world. Collective climate action The Ecosia community is the planet's largest tree-planting movement, making a difference every day. No greenwashing We tell you transparently how much money we make each month, and how much we spend on tree planting and climate action. Beyond neutral Our solar panels produce enough energy to power your searches twice over, meaning more renewables (and fewer fossil fuels) in the energy grid."

[Original post on social.vivaldi.net]
The image is a pyramid diagram illustrating the layers of a managed service model provided by Infomaniak. The pyramid is divided into four horizontal sections, each representing a different service layer. Data Centers (Bottom Layer): This is the foundational layer of the pyramid. It represents the physical infrastructure where data is stored and managed. Cloud Infrastructure Software (Second Layer): This layer is built on top of the data centers. It includes the software necessary for managing cloud infrastructure. The target audience for this layer is System Administrators. PaaS (Platform as a Service) (Third Layer): This layer is above the cloud infrastructure software. It provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. The target audience for this layer is Developers. SaaS (Software as a Service) (Top Layer): This is the topmost layer of the pyramid. It represents software applications delivered over the internet. The target audience for this layer is End Users. The entire pyramid is labeled as "Managed from Start to Finish by Infomaniak," indicating that Infomaniak manages all these layers comprehensively. The left side of the pyramid is labeled "IaaS" (Infrastructure as a Service), which encompasses the Data Centers and Cloud Infrastructure Software layers.
