“As a business grade web hosting company in Vancouver we are proud that our operations are now located in the RackForce GigaCenter and running off their enterprise cloud solution.” says Shone Anstey VP operations for XPC Web Hosting. “In addition our clients have expressed their approval and excitement to have their websites at such an eco friendly environment.”

“XPC Web Hosting has been with RackForce for almost 2 years now. They are a fast growing web hosting company and recently needed to add more powerful infrastructure to meet their growing needs.” Brian Fry, RackForce Vice President – Sales and Marketing “By migrating their operations to the RackForce enterprise cloud infrastructure they have positioned themselves for rapid growth.”

XPC Web Hosting is hoping that this will help all cloud hosting companies to go green.  Green cloud servers is the way of the future and will help save our planet.  Only by stepping  up today will help our planet.  I think it’s a great idea that they are stepping forward and standing up for what they believe.  I wonder how much money it costs to become a green cloud hosting center?  Does anyone know?

Green Cloud Computing

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Green Cloud Servers will be the way of the future. Solar, Wind and Cow Manure Energy Power Tomorrow`s Data Centers. As IT organizations move infrastructure to the cloud and data centers suck up more power, the search is on for affordable sources of renewable energy.

This may not seem like a big problems but with all the problems with BP in the Gulf of Mexico, the pressure may be on as never before. Can solar energy, wind turbines, geothermal power or even cow manure replace traditional power sources for powering cloud hosting data centers? The answer is a qualified yes.

Companies including Google, Intel, HP, and AMD are working on it as we speak. As of right now, we know that it is much more of a cost using to those types of power sources to power green cloud data centers.

Google’s business is run on data centers so it’s no surprise this company’s philanthropic arm is looking to fund renewable and affordable energy sources. It’s efforts include investments in companies like eSolar , a solar thermal power start up, a few enhanced geothermal power start ups, and even a plan to look at ocean water for power and cooling of data centers Google sums up its efforts to find affordable renewable energy here.
