Just how green is Cloud? We compiled the latest statistics to find proof that Cloud is indeed an energy-saving hosting option. With the debut of Cloud Hosting from Codero, we wanted to let you know all the advantages our new on-demand offering holds. Codero Cloud is offered by the hour or by the month. It is elastic so you can use as much or little as you want at any given time on demand and respond quickly to rapid business fluctuations.

Much has been written and discussed about how Cloud computing will take over IT infrastructure in the next few years. But did you realize how eco-friendly Cloud really is?

See how Cloud stacks up as far as sustainability benefits. Check out the Cloud Infographic below.

Part of being a customer-focused company is looking for ways to improve upon our services. Our enhanced Server Portal is one of our most recent improvements and it has been well received by our customers. The communications channel allows customers to remotely reboot their servers among other features. It also allows viewing of bandwidth for customers.

Our Vice President of Development, Nicholas Gaugler, was interviewed by WebHostReportCards.com about the upgrade of Codero’s Server Portal. Nicholas also talks about the beauty of Cloud which Codero now has in beta. See the article here.

Spending Too Much on IT? Hammer Down IT Labor Hours with Tools of Our Trade.

Maureen Griffith — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:14:02 +0000

Gartner research predicts by 2015, tools and automation will eliminate 25% of labor hours associated with IT services. That means as industries such as hosting and IT services mature, things will change even faster than they already are. Cloud computing is taking off and we’re seeing the increase in use of tools and automation in IT services which brings with it self-service automated provisioning, metering and more. Gartner predicts that productivity levels for service providers will increase which will lead to reductions in their costs of delivery.

What else will the years ahead bring? Other Gartner predictions include:

- By 2015, at least one G20 nation’s critical infrastructure will be disrupted and damaged by online sabotage. With its improved security, private cloud can help eliminate worries over cyber-sabotage. Forecasts call for a huge business migration to occur in the coming years to comprehensive data centers and predict cloud technologies will enable businesses to reduce costs and boost efficiencies by renting their IT on a pay-per-use-basis instead of maintaining or managing their own data. There won’t be a need for companies to create their own data centers when they can rely on the expertise of an industry professional whose sole business is IT.

- Forrester Research too, is on board the cloud bandwagon predictions for 2011 forecasting there will be a new type of IT provider who will work for the business and leverage technologies at the edge of the business to alter relationships, enhance customer support, create new products and bring value in ways one may not have imagined.

- By 2015, information-smart businesses will increase recognized IT spending per head by 60%. Plus, 20% of all companies will no longer own their own IT assets by 2012, Gartner predicts.

Other analysis services agree with all these predictions and add that sustainability will join security and cloud services as an important trend in enterprise IT in 2011.

Cloud Computing: Behind Every Cloud is Another Cloud.

Sara Newkirk — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:50:37 +0000

In January of this year cloud computing was predicted as a web hosting trend for 2009. While a growing trend, confusion exists in the marketplace as to what exactly cloud computing is, so I sought out a quick and simple explanation for cloud computing, and how it affects the everyday person. Some of the sites/online tools I take advantage of utilize cloud computing. For example, when I log in to Facebook and upload pictures, they are stored in a cloud – same for when I access Google Docs to save or share files. Want to see a visual representation of cloud computing? We found a great video on CNN that explains the basics of cloud computing.

While cloud computing seems to be a fit for many social networking sites, it may not be for everyone. Companies tend to lean towards more traditional forms of hosting when a high level of security or control over their hosting environment is needed as seen in a recent tip on ITworld.

What do you see being a hosting trend for 2010? Let us know your thoughts!
