San Francisco, California – (HOSTINGWORD.COM) – March 26, 2009 – An independent survey commissioned by Digital Realty Trust, has reported that over 80 percent of U.S. companies are planning near-term data center projects, as budgets increase almost 7 percent.
The study is based on a detailed survey of senior decision makers at large corporation in North America who are responsible for shaping their companies’ datacenter strategies. The research was conducted for Digital Realty Trust by the respected research firm Campos Research and Analysis. Digital Realty Trust released the results of a similar study of the European datacenter market last month and highlights of that study are available on the Company’s website.
Chris Crosby, Senior Vice President of Digital Realty Trust remarked, ”Based on the results of this study, we expect to see sustained demand for datacenter facilities in 2009 and 2010 as companies implement these plans to expand their IT infrastructure. One finding that may surprise people is that companies are increasing their datacenter budgets in 2009. This is a reflection of how companies view their datacenters as critical assets for increasing productivity while reducing costs. Also interesting are the parallels between this U.S. study and the European study we reported last month, with 4 out of 5 companies planning near-term datacenter projects in both markets.”
Key findings of the new study include:
—84 percent of surveyed companies are planning datacenter expansions in the next 12-24 months.
—64 percent of surveyed companies with plans to expand in 2009 are planning to expand in two or more locations.
—Surveyed companies plan to increase datacenter spending by an average of 6.6 percent in 2009.
—Datacenters account for an average of 35 percent of overall IT budgets for surveyed companies.
Other findings of the study include:
—Space requirements for datacenters continue to grow, increasing 16 percent from 2008 to an average of 21,000 square feet in 2009.
—70 percent of surveyed companies meter power usage in their datacenters, indicating that energy usage measurement has become the rule rather than the exception.
—80 percent of surveyed companies report that their current datacenter facilities have a PUE energy efficiency rating of 2.0 or more and 26 percent report PUE of 3.0 of higher – indicating that current facilities are not highly energy efficient.
Mr. Crosby added, ”The responses to our questions about PUE ratings are noteworthy because they indicate that PUE has wide acceptance as a methodology for measuring datacenter efficiency. With so many current facilities having PUE metrics above 2 and 3, there is a significant opportunity for companies to reduce their energy costs by implementing energy efficiency initiatives or moving to a datacenter facility with a lower PUE rating.”
Metrics reported in this study are based on web-based surveys of 300 IT decision makers at large corporations in North America with annual revenues of at least $1.0 billion and/or at least 5000+ employees. All survey participants are directly involved in the process of managing corporate data centers, executing contracts for new datacenters, implementing new datacenters or expanding existing datacenters. All participants were senior level executives, including CxOs, in IT, MIS, IS or Finance. The survey was conducted in January 2009.

If you are looking for shared hosting or reseller hosting, you might want to trek over to Hostgator.com. Hostgator specializes in web hosting facilities, and as far as I can see, they are doing a good job. They have recently picked up the Editors’ Choice Award by Findmyhost.com. I think they deserved it.
Hostgator.com is both reliable and fast — essential qualities for any web business. They work on Dual Xeon servers with 4GB memory and IDE hard drives. Moreover, with their claim of 99.9 percent uptime, they provide great hosting packages. At the same time, they are quite affordable.
The basic shared hosting package is offered at a monthly rate of $4.95. Yearly rates for the more advanced packages start from $7.95. You might be thinking that this is slightly higher than the rates offered by other web hosting providers. In my opinion, it is well worth the money. Moreover, each of the packages comes with a thirty day money back guarantee. So just wait and see for a while before you pronounce your final verdict. My guess is that you will want to stay with Hostgator for some time.
There are several other plusses to using Hostgator. For one, you get instant backups for your website. Moreover, you can host unlimited domains, sub-domains and FTP accounts. The most basic shared hosting package comes with limits though. It allows one domain and twenty sub-domains. Of course, you could always shift to a better package once you start expanding your website. And with as many as fifty-two scripts, this is a great web host.
In general, most users are satisfied with the Control Panel offered by Hostgator. In fact, their CPanel is pegged as being one of the best in the web hosting world. It adds to the convenience of managing your domains and sub-domains. The Control Panel demo helps new users get used to the various facilities offered by Hostgator.
In my opinion, one of Hostgator’s greatest virtues is that it offers great customer service. Most of the packages offer instant set up at no extra charge. There is twenty-four hour customer support. You can decide whether you want to interact with their customer care representatives over live chat or the phone. You could also make use of the email ticket system. I have found that their customer care execs are often more than ready to go out of their way to help you out. Yes, there are the occasional goof-ups. On the whole, however, Hostgator.com seems to be satisfying its customers.
