May 15, 2008 [Hosting Headlines] - Control panel maker cPanel and continuous data protection company R1Soft announced on today that they had formed an agreement to integrate their products.
Through the agreement, cPanel license holders, which are generally web hosting providers with large numbers of clients using the control panel, will receive volume discounts on R1Soft’s software, which provides near-continuous disk based backup.
CPanel customers will also receive marketing materials from R1Soft that are intended to help them sell the CDP service to their own customers.
R1Soft says its software now integrates with all the major hosting control panels, including cPanel.
“Providing easy and useful backups is a requirement to stay competitive in the hosting industry. R1Soft takes backups to the next level and we want to make sure that our customers have easy access to that technology,” said Dave Koston, vice president of operations at cPanel, in the press release. “With the ability for users to have access to their high-availability backups right from cPanel, along with the performance and ease of use of R1Soft’s products, it’s a no brainer for our companies to forge this partnership.”
The companies are offering a discount on R1Soft’s software to cPanel users until the end of the month, providing “an introductory collection of continuous data protection software” for $998. The “cPack” includes five copies of each of CDP Agents, CDP for MYSQL and CDP Servers, along with the service provider API for provisioning and one year of technical support and maintenance.
CPanel says the cPack is a savings of more than $2,700. More information about the bundle is available at a landing page on the R1Soft website.
CPanel is currently planning its 2008 partner conference, which takes place June 11 to 13 in Houston, Texas.

May 14, 2008 BURLINGTON, MA – [Hosting Headlines] – groupSPARK, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and the leading provider of private label hosted software services including hosted Exchange Server 2007, hosted SharePoint Services v3.0, and hosted Dynamics CRM, announced today that groupSPARK senior executive officer, Ravi Agarwal, will be speaking at the ISPCon Spring 2008 conference and trade show.
ISPCon Spring 2008 will be held at the Donald E. Stephens (Rosemont) Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois from May 13-15, 2008. The event brings together 2500+ internet industry professionals including ISPs, webhosting providers, VoIP providers and numerous other internet industry professionals to discuss all facets of internet business including ways to increase revenue and develop new business opportunities.
Ravi Agarwal, groupSPARK senior executive officer, will speak to attendees on Thursday, May 15, 2008 on ways for ISPs and the service provider community to successfully compete in the expanding hosted services arena. His presentation titled SaaS vs. Software + Service: How You Can Survive Microsoft’s Entry into the Hosted Services Market, will speak to the trepidation now felt by resellers of hosted services worldwide regarding Microsoft’s decision to enter the market with their own hosted services offerings. Mr. Agarwal will address the explosive growth in the market and offer strategies resellers can employ to stand apart from the competition and provide value added products and services to their small and mid-size business customers.
“The hosting industry is growing dramatically as more and more SMBs discover that they can pay a small monthly fee and achieved the same level of productivity as large companies by using enterprise class messaging and collaboration tools in a hosted environment. As a result, resellers are looking to take advantage of this trend and offer these services to their customers. However, the recent press surrounding Microsoft’s entry into the hosted Software as a Service market is making many resellers reconsider their decision as they are unsure whether they will be able to compete,” said Ravi Agarwal, senior executive director, groupSPARK division of mindSHIFT Technologies, Inc. “This fear is completely unfounded. There are many ways resellers can differentiate themselves and continue to thrive in this rapidly growing market. There is enough room for everyone to be successful.”
One of the ways that groupSPARK continues to thrive in a competitive market is to offer a full breadth of private label hosted software services through their reseller channel to SMBs who would otherwise be unable to deploy the applications in-house due to their significant cost. Services include hosted Exchange Server 2007, hosted SharePoint Services 3.0, and hosted Dynamics CRM as well as 2-way wireless synchronization with BlackBerry Enterprise Server®, Windows Mobile and Good Mobile Messaging. groupSPARK also offers all resellers live 24 x 7 technical support via phone, email and online chat which is staffed by experts based in the United States.

May 14, 2008 Palo Alto, California - [Hosting Headlines] - VMware, Inc., a virtualization solutions firm, has reportedly helped to defray costs for customers in the amount of 39 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, which amounts to over the power that is used annually to heat and cool the country of Denmark.
Stephen Herrod, Chief Technology Officer, VMware noted, ”Most servers and desktops today are still consuming 70-80 per cent of their rated power even when idle. VMware is able to deliver substantial power and cost savings through innovative power management capabilities in our virtualization solutions that safely power down or throttle servers when not in use. By powering down servers and desktops during inactive periods such as evenings or weekends, we can help customers save another 25 per cent or more on power consumption without affecting applications or users.”
The virtualization solution firm for desktops to datacentres, reports that by using its virtualization, customers can consolidate 10 or more physical machines onto a single server and reduce power consumption and cost by 80-90 per cent. VMware customers that have moved from a 1:1 application to server ratio to 60:1 or higher have achieved millions of dollars in capital and operational savings.
For every server virtualized, customers can save about 7,000 kilowatt hours (kWh), or four tons of CO2 emissions, every year. VMware has virtualized more than 6 million server workloads since 1998, resulting in an estimated energy savings of nearly 39 Billion kWh, or roughly US4.4 billion. This is roughly equivalent to the total energy consumption of Denmark for one year. PCs virtualized and hosted on servers in the datacentre can also reduce power consumption and cost by 35 per cent. Hosting desktops in the datacentre also doubles the replacement cycle of PCs or thin clients, reducing the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new equipment.
Since 2006, VMware has been an active pioneer inworking with utility companies to offer incentive programs supporting virtualization projects in datacentres. VMware works with utilities across North America including Pacific Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, SDG and E, BC Hydro and Austin Energy to provide customers incentives based on the amount of energy savings achieved through datacentre consolidation.
Sheffield Hallam, one of the UK’s most innovative and progressive universities with more than 28,000 students and over 5,000 staff, required a number of new IT services to support its user community. This led to the number of servers within the datacentre doubling within twelve months. The building’s electricity grid could not supply enough power to reliably support the required number of servers within the main datacentre, and physical space was also a major issue. Sheffield Hallam is using VMware’s market-leading datacentre virtualization and management platform, VMware Infrastructure 3, to reduce power and cooling requirements in the datacentre and improve the delivery of IT services. VMware Infrastructure 3 provides the capability for automatic load balancing, business continuity and power management and the ability to move a virtual machine across physical machines to minimize service interruption.
Dave Thornley, service support manager, Sheffield Hallam University remarked, ”With the server farm growing towards capacity, we knew a completely new strategy was required. We decided that moving to a virtual infrastructure would be the most effective way to tackle cost management and space issues. Using VMware, we have made a huge impact on our power bills as well as leading to major savings in the deployment of new services to users.”
VMware (NYSE: VMW) is the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop to the datacentre. Customers of all sizes rely on VMware to reduce capital and operating expenses, ensure business continuity, strengthen security and go green. With 2007 revenues of $1.3 billion, more than 100,000 customers and nearly 14,000 partners, VMware is one of the fastest growing public software companies. VMware is headquartered in Palo Alto, California and on the web at www.vmware.com. VMware Canada is headquartered in Burlington, Ontario.

May 13, 2008 Vancouver, Washington - [Hosting Headlines] - New Edge Networks, a wholly owned subsidiary of ISP EarthLink Inc., has inked a $1.6 million deal with Whitehall Jewelers, for 375 stores.
The agreement has expanded and renewed for managing and maintaining a private network linking the jewelry chain’s regional and super-regional shopping malls and power centers in 39 states.
Building on a long-standing business relationship, New Edge will manage and maintain Whitehall’s existing private IP network based on DSL technology. The agreement also expands Whitehall’s network to 78 recently acquired jewelry stores. Installation work at the newly acquired locations is underway.
The specialty retailer of fine jewelry uses its private wide area network for processing store transactions, sales polling, selected Web access and corporate email. To ensure privacy and security, Whitehall’s network traffic, such as payment transactions and email, does not traverse the public Internet.
Greg Griffiths, Vice President of Marketing for New Edge noted, ”Our business relationship with Whitehall Jewelers has led to our mutual growth and success.” Both companies have benefited from trying new service approaches for optimizing the value of a private network after discussions in quarterly account review meetings.
Feedback from Whitehall was instrumental in New Edge’s decision to reorganize its operations support center and assign dedicated teams of technicians for supporting large customers with complex network configurations. When these customers call New Edge’s operations support system, they speak to someone they likely know by first name and who is familiar with their network design.
Mark Funasaki, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer for Chicago-based Whitehall Jewelers added, ”Our private network is an important component of our business growth plans and strategies. We want to use our network to favorably transform the shopping experience for our customers. Network flexibility, uptime and stability are paramount for smooth and efficient store operations.”
Whitehall Jewelers is a national specialty retailer of fine jewelry offering a selection of merchandise in the following categories: diamonds, gold, precious and semi-precious jewelry and watches. As of April 30, 2008, Whitehall Jewelers operated 375 stores in regional and super-regional malls as well as power centers in 39 states.
New Edge Networks is a wholly owned subsidiary of EarthLink Inc. (NASDQ: ELNK). New Edge Networks builds and manages private networks for businesses and communications providers. Through its nationwide backbone network with almost 900 switches and Internet routers, New Edge Networks uses any blend of network and access technologies (MPLS, frame relay, ATM, xDSL, cable, wireless, and satellite) for providing high-speed connections at any business address in the United States. Network options include any combination of access, network management functions, and on-site installation services.

May 13, 2008 Dallas, Texas - [Hosting Headlines] - SoftLayer, an on-demand hosting services and virtual data center provider for the small to medium enterprise (SME), has expanded its advanced, on-demand data center services portfolio.
Nathan Day, Chief Technology Officer at SoftLayer noted, ”CDNLayer is one more way we provide enterprise-class services to customers of any size. Consumer demand for online video and media-rich websites is exploding. Companies and individuals in every industry, from entertainment and gaming to social networking and e-commerce, will benefit from using CDNLayer to optimize their content management and delivery.”
By launching CDNLayer, an industry leading content delivery network (CDN), the solution will optimize the delivery of web content so that it arrives to end-users with increased speed and reliability. The service is priced at only $20.00 per month for the first 200GB of data transferred and only $0.20 per GB thereafter, making it the simplest and most competitive CDN solution in the market.
CDNLayer uses a network of multiple, geographically diverse server nodes running advanced software that organizes, stores, and streams online content. Rather than serving content directly from the host server to the end-user, CDNLayer moves content from the host server to a node that is geographically closer to the end-user. This minimizes the distance the data has to travel, avoiding network traffic jams, and decreasing latency. CDNLayer includes tools for improved management, helping with content monetization. In addition, it features the ease-of-use and increased control for which SoftLayer is known.
Nathan Day, Chief Technology Officer at SoftLayer remarked, ”The Internet originally was not designed to deliver content that requires large transfer rates, leading to poor performance, interruptions, and failed downloads. CDNLayer changes that. Content is delivered faster and more reliably, creating an improved user experience - leading end-users to spend more time on a site and use its services.”
Recently, SoftLayer opened a new data center location in the Washington D.C. area. The addition of this facility increases the company’s total capacity to 45,000 servers throughout their facilities located in Dallas, Seattle, and now D.C.
SoftLayer Washington D.C. is located just 7 miles from Dulles International Airport in a facility designed to full Tier IV standards. It features multiple redundant power connections in addition to the three 2-megawatt generators and eight, fully redundant, 750 kVA UPS systems. As with all SoftLayer data centers, the facility has 24×7 onsite support and multiple security protocols controlling entrance to the building. In addition, the facility boasts infrastructure features including:
34 x 480v 3-Phase PDUs
Redundant 30-ton CRAC Units
FM-200 Fire Suppression System with VESDA
Biometric Security System
Digital Security Video Surveillance
SoftLayer has already begun pre-selling servers in the new data center to current customers, receiving an unprecedented level of demand resulting in a high backlog of server requests. Mr. Crosby added, ”We knew interest in the new location would be high, from both existing and new customers. We wanted to give our current customers an opportunity to request servers here and meet their demand prior to opening sales to the general market.”
Headquartered in Plano, Texas, SoftLayer provides next-generation web hosting and on-demand datacenter services on a global basis from facilities located in Dallas, TX and Seattle, WA. Utilizing proprietary management tools coupled with the industry’s first network-within-a-network topology, the company delivers unprecedented power and control to securely manage IT environments while providing unparalleled scalability.
