The IDC White Paper looks at the efficiencies of outsourcing web and online infrastructure in an increasingly volatile and environmentally aware society. Specifically the White Paper looks at the benefits of managed Web hosting services compared with in-house hosting using a company's own datacentre facilities.
It discusses costs, risks, regulatory pressures, the rising importance of green IT and power and cooling issues. The case for outsourcing includes:
- Benefits in terms of capital and operational expenditure and risk management by switching from In-house hosting to a managed hosting service.
- Aside from being beneficial to the environment companies will be acting in their own best interests - able to react more effectively to future environmental legislation and regulation and achieve savings in operational expenditure.
- Increased costs related to powering a datacentre due to higher and volatile energy prices alongside the shift in datacentre power expense transferred from facilities to IT manager.
