The new technologies they have generously donated enable us to support our core business operations and the entrepreneurs who count on the HTC to support their new companies.”
The HTC provides a broad range of resources for entrepreneurs. HTC University, which meets quarterly, helps early-stage companies with the necessary tools to write and develop their business plans. It also offers access to seasoned industry executives, networking opportunities and seminars, including its popular Web-Based Startup School.

Web Hosting Firm, iomart Managed Hosting, Unveils Upgraded Website

Filed under: Uncategorized

Glasgow, United Kingdom – (The Hosting News) – April 10, 2009 – Managed hosting and data center services company, iomart hosting, has introduced a new brand identity, unveiled as the first in a series of steps which the company is undertaking in its business upgrade mission.

iomart hosting’s new identity is intended to reinforce its commitment to integrating realistic and energy efficient stewardship into every aspect of its business, particularly its 4 UK data centres, for the benefits of its clients. The company is pro actively seeking to reduce cost at every opportunity: the cost of power, cost to the environment and cost of overall service.

Phil Worms, Marketing Director commented, ”Data centres and server rooms are by design, un-environmentally friendly buildings and they will never be ‘green’. The internet is driving the world’s economy and the demand for computing power keeps rising and it’s a trend that does not show any signs of slowing. Over the past few months, we have implemented several initiatives which tangibly demonstrate our desire to sensibly address the issues that our industry faces.”

Mr. Worms continued, ”For example, we are founder signatories of the EU Data Centre Code of Conduct committing us to implement the Code’s energy efficiency best practice, meet minimum procurement standards, and annually report our energy consumption. We have added a range of standard virtualised servers to our core product portfolio and we are about to roll out an online control panel, which provides every one of our hosting customers with real time access to their server’s energy and bandwidth consumption straight from the rack.”

As part of the rebrand process, iomart hosting has extended its online presence through a new web site, social networking sites such as twitter and Facebook. The new brand will be launched face to face at Internet World 2009 later this month.
Mr. Worms concluded, ”At the end of the day, iomart hosting sells peace of mind to its customers. Our customers expect high availability, resilience and guaranteed SLA’s as standard, but by hosting with us they also have the added confidence that we are actively seeking to reduce hosting operational costs, both financial and environmental, on their behalf.”

iomart hosting holds a unique place in the hosting market in that it genuinely offers a ‘one source’ approach. By physically owning and managing its own network infrastructure, including 4 state of the art Data Centre facilities, it offers world beating levels of service to its customers. iomart hosting offers managed services, ranging from single server management through to complex managed environments. All hosting services are customised to suit a client’s exact requirements and are designed for superior performance, reliability, security, and scalability.

Web Hosting Provider, Rackspace, Welcomes New President of Cloud Business

Filed under: Uncategorized

San Antonio, Texas – (The Hosting News) – April 3, 2009 – Web hosting provider, Rackspace Hosting, has named its Chief Strategy Officer, Lew Moorman, as the President of its cloud business, to be responsible for deploying Fanatical Support to Rackspace’s cloud hosting model.

Prior to joining Rackspace in 2000, Mr. Moorman held several positions at the management consulting firm McKinsey and Company, advising a variety of technology firms. Mr. Moorman holds a B.A. from Duke University and a J.D. from Stanford Law School.

Lanham Napier, president and CEO, Rackspace Hosting remarked, ”As our CSO, Lew helped guide Rackspace into many new territories, most notably cloud computing. He is able to visualize the future for both our customers and our company. Cloud hosting and cloud applications are extremely important to us and that is why we’re putting Lew at the helm of these two strategic businesses.”

As the CSO of Rackspace, Mr. Moorman’s responsibilities have included the development, marketing and management of new products and services. Most recently, Mr. Moorman has focused on the company’s entrance into both the cloud hosting and cloud applications spaces by spearheading the launch of The Rackspace Cloud (formerly Mosso) and driving the acquisitions of webmail.us, now the backbone of Rackspace’s Cloud Applications division, and, more recently, Slicehost and Jungle Disk. He has helped pave the way for Rackspace to emerge as a leader in cloud computing.

In October 2008, Rackspace announced its cloud hosting strategy at the Rackspace Cloud Event. Since the event and the acquisitions of Slicehost and Jungle Disk, the Cloud Business has seen momentum with several new product launches and integrations, customer acquisitions and additions to its leadership team.
Rackspace’s cloud business consists of two divisions, Cloud Hosting, also known as Mosso | The Rackspace Cloud, and Cloud Applications. Led by Emil Sayegh, General Manager, The Rackspace Cloud is the company’s fastest growing division, hosting hundreds of thousands of websites and applications for over 16,000 customers. The Rackspace Cloud provides on-demand scalable website, application and storage hosting through its suite of cloud solutions – Cloud Sites, Cloud Files and Cloud Servers. At the core of the Cloud Application division is Mailtrust, led by Pat Mathews, General Manager and Founder. Mailtrust is home to over one million mailboxes and provides email and communication services allowing companies to focus on their core business strategies.
Mr. Moorman added, ”Cloud computing is the next step for business hosting and brings a whole new set of challenges and opportunities for Rackspace. Our investments in these new technologies have yielded strong results and we think the future model of hybrid hosting, the use of traditional hosting and cloud computing along with our trademark Fanatical Support will be a great combination for our customers. I am privileged to lead incredible teams in this important endeavor for Rackspace.”
Mr. Moorman spoke at this week’s Web 2.0 Expo in New York City on the topic of cloud computing. He participated in two speaking sessions – the first is a panel discussion titled ”Cloud Operations is The New Killer Job” and the other session was ”Cloud Computing and the Paradigm Shift That’s Coming in IT”.

Web Hosting Managed Hybrid Servers, Upgraded at WiredTree

Filed under: Uncategorized

Chicago, Illinois – (The Hosting News) – April 2, 2009 – Managed dedicated, hybrid and virtual private server (VPS) hosting solutions provider, WiredTree, has reported a major and significant upgrade to its line of Managed Hybrid Servers.

The solution was developed as a unique hosting platform offering access to dedicated resources in a virtualized hosting environment.

Zac Cogswell, President of WiredTree noted, ”Leveraging the ‘best of both worlds’ is the name of the game. Our Managed Hybrid Servers outperform similarly priced dedicated servers by a formidable margin, and as we look to the future, we are positioning our products to compete more aggressively on both performance and affordability.”
Managed Hybrid Servers now boast 2000GB of monthly premium data transfer, full nightly backups, and a variety of other value-added features. To boot, WiredTree pared pricing by 20 percent, reducing the starting cost to only $99 per month.
Unlike virtual private servers, Managed Hybrid Servers include dedicated, guaranteed server resources hosted on enterprise-level infrastructure. However, unlike traditional dedicated servers, Managed Hybrid Servers offer burstable CPU utilization and more flexible data storage options, including RAID-10 configurations.
All Managed Hybrid Server plans are fully managed and include ServerShield security hardening, in addition to 24/7 phone and helpdesk support.
Formed in June 2006 to set a new standard for managed hosting, WiredTree provides a superior managed hosting environment through customer service, innovative network design, a unique suite of services, and the latest technological advances in server hardware. WiredTree designed a network that leverages two logically separated networks – a public Internet network and a private internal network. This modern “network-within-a-network” design allows the company to securely provide a wide range of value-added services for business of all sizes.
