Rimini Street Receives 100 Percent Renewable Energy Certification for Data Center Operations

Company awarded Sustainability Certificate from Switch Data Center

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#RiminiStreetRimini
Street, Inc.
(Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of enterprise
software products and services, and the leading third-party support
provider for Oracle and SAP software products, today announced it has
achieved its sustainability goal of using 100 percent renewable energy
at its data facility operating within Switch’s
Data Centers
(NYSE: SWCH). Because Switch is powered by 100 percent
clean energy, Rimini Street operations at Switch’s Data Centers result
in zero greenhouse gas emissions. To mark the achievement, Switch issued
its proprietary Sustainability Certificate to Rimini Street. The Company
moved its primary data to Switch’s Core Campus in Las Vegas, Nevada in
2015.

This sustainability certificate recognizes that Switch retired over 280
geothermal and solar renewable energy credits between 2016 and 2017 on
behalf of Rimini Street, making the company’s energy consumption 100%
green at Switch’s data center facility. These renewable energy credits
comply with Greenpeace’s principles of locality, additionality, and
sustainability, and were generated by Nevada solar farms and geothermal
power plants. A Renewable Energy Credit (REC) is proof that 1
megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from an eligible
renewable energy resource and delivered to the energy grid. Each REC is
independently tracked and verified. A REC represents the environmental
attributes of the power produce from eligible renewable projects and may
be sold separately from the electricity produced from the source.

“Migrating our data centers to Switch has enabled Rimini Street to
reduce our carbon footprint and overall environmental impact,” said Steven
Salaets
, senior vice president, Global Security & Compliance, and
CIO at Rimini Street. “We are honored to accept the Switch
Sustainability Certificate for 100 percent renewable energy, which
reinforces our commitment to conducting business responsibly. Rimini
Street moved its primary data to the Switch Data Center to assure our
mission-critical data is housed in one of the most secure, protected
facilities in the world.”

“Helping environmentally conscious companies like Rimini Street achieve
their own sustainability goals of 100 percent renewable energy usage by
being in Switch’s 100 percent green energy powered data centers is a
core value of our company,” said Switch executive vice president of
Strategy, Adam Kramer. “Switch’s advanced power and cooling
technologies, remarkable power usage effectiveness ratings, and
high-density rack configurations allow customers such as Rimini Street
to fit their IT equipment into a smaller footprint while dramatically
reducing their energy consumption.”
