Online Server Hosting – Virtual Fever

If you think about the two biggest trends of current times, the things that enter your mind are probably sustainability and the growth of the internet – online server hosting kills two birds with one stone!

Everywhere you look, life is hopping onto the virtual train. Everything is online – your shopping, your banking, your work, your play and just about everything else you can think of. But that’s just trend number one. We also have the powerful trend that has swept across the globe in recent years, sustainability. Online server hosting provides a very effective answer for both modern issues.  

Sustainable living is something that is now widely practised in most households. The simple actions that we can take are turning appliances and electrical goods off when they are not in use, keeping a separate recycling bin, purchasing energy saving light bulbs, and watching TV in the same room. The importance of environmental care extends to businesses, and most directors/owners do not realise the impact that the use of technology has on the environment. But this is where virtual server hosting comes in.

Virtualisation in Business

Everything is virtual - the way we communicate via email, the way we shop, date, chat to other people, and the way we enjoy our leisure time is all on the internet. Online server hosting is an alternative to in-house IT infrastructures. 

Servers are responsible for providing hardware platforms or software applications to its users. The end result is that a server will be able to provide services to a company’s clients. Servers are all disposed to downtime and will be offline. 90% of the time, downtime is due to reasons to do with maintenance. Online server hosting takes onboard the trend of virtualisation by providing a product that can be offered completely over the internet. Online server hosting can completely eradicate downtime and this is a big contributor to the growing virtual fever.

Sustainable Work Environments

With Corporate Social Responsibility being such as key player in marketing strategies and plans, it has never been more important to go green. Computers and servers take a lot of energy to power. The sad reality is that servers are only utilised 5-15% of the time that they are powered on. With wastage of up to 95%, it has never been more crucial to look into the possibilities of online server hosting. This is the pooling together of servers and you have access to the platforms and applications that you need – when you need them. Without the power, money and staff used on maintaining your own in house infrastructure, you can save on bills, whilst serving the planet.
