How Cloud Computing Will Impact Data Centers



Electrorack, a Legrand Group brand, recently posted its article, How Cloud Computing Will Impact Data Centers in 2012, on its ePulse Info Center at www.electrorack.com.


“As bandwidth issues arise, cloud computing will continue to be looked at as a potential solution,” said Todd Schneider, Electrorack’s Director of Marketing.  “And as cloud infrastructure gains acceptance, there will be increased emphasis on demonstrating return on investment.”


Excerpt from How Cloud Computing Will Impact Data Centers in 2012:


The year 2011 saw data centers moving cautiously in the direction of cloud computing, and many analysts believe that 2012 will see growth pick up as perceived barriers to adoption disappear. Companies are moving more toward creating private clouds and using public clouds as backup for overflow capacity.


Some experts are predicting that 2012 will see the growth of cloud computing and would increase with many companies moving away from traditional “box-centric” operations. While in previous times, companies tended to rely on running applications in specific data centers or on specific servers, cloud infrastructure allows any application to run at any location or on any server at any time.


“Initially there was hesitancy on the part of data center to adopt cloud computing models,” added Todd.   “However, Security SaaS options and SAS-70 compliance certification are helping to build confidence that cloud computing systems are safe for data center operations.  That, combined with general public acceptance, means cloud computing will only increase in 2012.”
