The increasing number of complex web 2.0 applications on the internet is putting pressure on data centres, it has been claimed.
According to business technology expert and editor-in-chief of ZDNet Larry Dignan, web 2.0 applications are eating up more and more server processing time.
He claims that as a result data centres are becoming less efficient because the plethora of complex software requires data connections 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
ZDNet's IT professional was reiterating claims by Citrix.
The firm said: "In order to create a rich interactive experience, web 2.0 applications need to maintain a one-to-one user connection to backend servers for extended periods, which severely taxes data centre resources."
Citrix added that the impact on resources reduces data centre performance and hinders scalability.
The claims come as Citrix launches an update to its application delivery controller, which it states could cut server workload by as much as 90 per cent.
