The Planet is considered one of the largest hosting providers in the world controlling around 2-3% of all the worlds traffic in their data centers. But where are they in the cloud hosting world?
TMCnet interview Doug Erwin at Interop earlier this year. Here is the interview with Erwin in this video.
“We are announcing our new product at the end of this quarter and will have 1,500 people working on it to really test it. The cloud is really about the end user as they get better service. At the same time, the provider can deliver bigger and better without more cost,” Erwin added.
As for energy efficiency, it is a huge factor for The Planet. In his top 5 expense lines, Erwin highlighted that number 3 is utilities. By adding a “chimney” type device to the data center, they saved 9 percent in energy expenses.
What does this all equate to… AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE PLANET IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO ABOUT THE PLANET CLOUD HOSTING.
