Data centers are really expensive to maintain, which is why companies like Netflix that consume vast amounts of data prefer to use cloud-based systems. That’s why the company has announced that it will be shutting down the last of its data centers by the end of the summer, thus ending the process of becoming 100% cloud-based that Netflix began more than seven years ago.
Good morning. Netflix Inc. said it plans to shut down the last of its data centers by the end of the summer, which will make it one of the first big companies to run all of its IT in the public cloud. “For our streaming business, we have been 100% cloud-based for customer facing systems for some time now, and are planning to completely retire our data centers later this summer,” Bob McMillan and Rachael King report in CIO Journal. About 12% of companies run IT operations entirely in the cloud, according to a recent survey of 1,500 IT professionals by BetterCloud. Nearly all of those companies are small or medium-sized businesses. By 2022, just slightly more than 20% of large enterprise companies are expected to operate entirely in the cloud.
