More Data Centers Are Built All Over The World

With Information Technology still experiencing a major boom we can see lots of data centers are being built in the metropolitan areas over United States and many other countries of the world. This is a good sign for the continued development of telecommunications industry.

Data centers are the nerve of a master solution provider which also serves as a business phone service provider. One such business phone service provider is AT&T solution provider. When you decide to subscribe to enterprise hosting from them, they will send their elite AT&T MIS team to assist you so that you can use their products and services to the maximum. During installation, they will teach your own team on how to use enterprise hosting and other features of the T3 connection such as voice over IP service, MPLS private network service, point to point WAN and other digital management solutions.

You will be relieved if you have a few collocation branches all over the world as the bulk of all these digital management solutions are handled well by the master solution provider. They have actually evolved from being a mere business phone service provider to a sort of jack of all trades. All these products and services can actually come in handy all the time. And their technical support is very adept  and available that whether they are actually in your own business complexes or over the phone or sending instructions through chat and email, their solutions are very efficient to the customer.

Consider this – having an internet T3 which runs on DS3 has lots of purposes. In one computer alone, you can use lots of protocols at the same time such as http, ftp and VoIP. Speaking of voice over IP service, the master solution provider installs only state of the art telephony systems in your office couches and jacks them to the computers so all phones will run through the Net. There is no more worry about incurring unwanted long distance rates. There are certainly some businesses in the world where daily long distance calls are a necessity. So long distance charges are simply impractical.

Voice over IP service is a solution to that. And then both point to point WAN easily allows you to log onto the computer existing in another collocation, even if it is outside the country. And with MPLS private network service, you can put filters and firewalls to your account so only you can remotely log on to a computer in the network even if you are in another location. All these marvels are already offered today by the master solution provider. So it is up to you which provider to avail to.

The Future of Datacenters in the Country

The men behind the perfect transformation of the worldwide web may have never anticipated that soon at least four percent of the power supply in North America could be consumed by the Internet. Datacenter expansion has exploded in recent years since the Google boom few years back, giving some headaches and pressures to the maintainers of the country’s energy grid.

The ever increasing power bills and IT hardware costs have also forced more companies to look for some alternatives such as the cheap sources of power, while others have also opted to go for green energy solutions to eliminate huge expenses and also reduce carbon footprints.

It maybe recalled that in September of 2005, the crunch has already reached its critical level when Google’s datacenter Luiz Andre Barroso wrote, “The possibility of computer equipment power consumption spiraling out of control could have serious consequences for the overall affordability of computing, not to mention the overall health of the planet.”

Jim Higdon, in his report said Google has implemented solutions in the past when it constructed its datacenter in Oregon, more specifically between the cheap hydroelectric power made by the Grand Cooley Dam and the investment of Oregonian tax dollars which is a fiber-optic broadband infrastructure.

Google, report said, has continually added 300,000 to 400,000 servers every year aside from the 1 million servers it ha already constructed since it started operation. Its datacenter in Oregon is about the size of a huge football field with two buildings and four-story cooling plants.

Higdon also said in his report that among the companies which already implemented its green solution include the CityNAP, an Internet hub and a datacenter and is strategically situated in San Antonio. The company was established by Frank Robles in 2006. It became the first green datacenter in the place. It is sourcing its power from wind energy. The worthwhile business endeavor of Mr. Robles was also followed by industry giants such as the IBM. It is now offering its datacenter green solution that really reduces costs while it is also increasing its performance.

Meanwhile, here are the top ten companies for the most expensive datacenter, as well as for the cheapest datacenter cities in the country, for your added information.
