August 14, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The Green Grid, (thegreengrid.org) a non-profit consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems, recently announced that it has released its technology roadmap and key deliverables for the rest of 2007.
For the next few months, The Green Grid says it will focus on data collection through the documentation of existing standards and the evaluation of metrics, data assessment through a market study of current efficiency practices and technology proposals that outline The Green Grid's recommendations for the future of energy efficient data centers.
The nine papers will be launched over the next two quarters and are aimed at bringing together industry leaders and end users from critical segments of the data center ecosystem to develop a unified voice around data center efficiency issues.
"Despite the fact that power consumption is one of the most important issues facing IT today, there is a lack of guidelines and resources available for those looking to drive a change," says Lawrence Lamers, director of The Green Grid. "The Green Grid is focused on building the foundation and launching the key technology deliverables required to improve data center energy efficiency both for existing data centers and for the design and operation of future ones."
Technological engineering leader Emerson is one of the most recent additions to The Green Grid.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
