Development on the project begins immediately, and The Planet expects to announce availability in late 2008. IPv6 provides a vast improvement over the current IPv4, deployed in the 1980s, by increasing address space, providing support for mobile devices, and improving quality of service and data security.

Stan Barber, Vice President, Network Operations, at The Planet noted, ”One of our top priorities at The Planet is to make sure all of our customers have access to the best technologies to keep their businesses competitive now and in the future. As the Internet grows in complexity and becomes even more ubiquitous, we’re looking to the future so that we are fully prepared to meet the vast needs of our customers. Working with NTT America allows us to add the considerable benefits of IPv6 to The Planet’s network and to help our customers prepare for the continued impact the Internet will have on their companies.”

As one of the first hosting companies to announce its plans for IPv6, The Planet continues to provide enhancements that give current customers methodologies to be ready today and for the future. By adding NTT America’s IPv6 transit to The Planet network, The Planet will be able to offer each hosting customer an innovative, dual-stack approach, which provides the most efficient approach for using both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously.

NTT Communications Group has been directly involved with the development and deployment of IPv6 technology since 1996. With the launch of IPv6 transit services in 2001 and the first IPv6 managed firewall solution in 2005, which was provided by NTT America, the NTT Communications Group established itself as the global leader in commercial IPv6 managed services solutions.

Michael Wheeler, Vice President of Sales and Business Development at NTT America remarked, ”As the operator of the world’s largest commercial IPv6 network and with more than ten years of direct involvement with its development and deployment, we are pleased to be able to be working with The Planet to create long-term sustainable growth for their customers on the Internet. We continue to be committed to bringing superior technology, solutions and services to our customers worldwide.”

The NTT Communications Group provides IPv6 Gateway services that are available globally and allow enterprises to connect to the world’s only commercial-grade Global Tier One IPv6 Backbone operating in four continents-North America, Europe, Asia and Australia-and serving thousands of customers. In addition, NTT has improved upon the inherent security features of IPv6 with the creation of its IntelliSecurity IPv6 Managed Firewall solution. The solution complements the NTT Communications Group’s existing suite of managed IPv6 Gateway Services, and satisfies the need for increased security for IPv6 users. NTT America also provides IPv6 transition solutions through its IPv6 Transition Consultancy, which supports companies’ and federal agencies’ smooth transition to the upgraded IPv6 network with specialized products and knowledge accumulated through the NTT Communications Group’s successful commercial implementation of IPv6 technology.

Virtual Cluster is designed to allow small businesses to scale their online service quickly and effortlessly. DedicatedNOW’s Virtual Cluster is a managed hosting solution developed to facilitate scaling of online services.

Jay Silverglate, CEO of DedicatedNow noted, ”We’ve found that many smaller companies may lack the resources and manpower to deploy full scale managed clusters. Moreover, developing fully managed clusters may be cost prohibitive for these companies. Unlike traditional clustered hosting, our Virtual Clusters provide redundancy and reliability for our clients. They are deployed across enterprise class servers, using the AppLogic utility computing platform, which allows us to deploy, manage, optimize and scale the Virtual Cluster solution to accommodate customer demands for high availability and scalability.”

Bert Armijo, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Product Management at 3tera added, ”In the Internet economy today the difference between being a successful growing company and a short-living business idea is the ability to scale and grow your online service as the demand grows.”

Lynn Theobald, Founder of strategicmentoring.com, a DedicatedNOW client remarked, ”With a solution like Dedicated Now’s Virtual Cluster, companies can now get their applications to market quickly and scale easily without the enormous capital and labor required to own and to operate IT infrastructure. We are pleased to work with DedicatedNOW because of their dedication to customer service and innovative business ideas. The Virtual Cluster solution is garnering attention from end users. With a standard clustered solution, increasing our computing power to keep up with demand was difficult, time consuming and ultimately left our staff overwhelmed. Virtual clustering would allow our staff to rapidly increase and distribute resources as our company grows. The solution just makes sense for companies, like mine, that anticipate rapid growth and the need for resources that go along with that growth.”

Availability DedicatedNOW’s Virtual Cluster solution will be available April 1 2008. The service starts at $299 per month and offers redundant dedicated processors and RAM for each account.

The AppLogic Grid operating system was named one of the ”Top 20 Companies to Watch in 2008” by Linux Magazine, and a 2007 Category Breaker by NetworkWorld magazine, 3Tera’s AppLogic grid operating system enables the first true utility computing platform that completely removes the cost and complexity associated with IT infrastructure. AppLogic converts commodity servers into scalable grids on which users can visually operate, deploy and scale transactional web applications without any modification of code. Software-as-a-Service providers, Web 2.0 companies, enterprises and open source developers can now get new online services quickly to market by utilizing resources from hosting providers on a pay-as-you-go basis, while maintaining complete control of applications including visual operation, scaling and on-demand resource provisioning.

DedicatedNOW provides dedicated hosting, offering professional grade hosting services to thousands of IT professionals and businesses.

The data warehouse expansion included the installation of multi-petabyte storage arrays from EqualLogix (now Dell) in its Dallas, Seattle, and, when launched, Washington D.C. facilities to serve as the backend data storage powering all of SoftLayer’s on-demand service offerings. Servers from SuperMicro provide the processing power for the new SOA infrastructure. Together, these improvements have been engaged to accelerate deployment of new features and increase performance for all SoftLayer customers (whether they use the SoftLayer Application Programming Interface (API) or the SoftLayer Portal to manage hosted IT infrastructure) and allow the company to maintain its leadership in bringing new products and services to market.

Nathan Day, Chief Technology Officer at SoftLayer noted, ”Delivering world-class services on time, every time, requires an internal infrastructure that, up to now, simply did not exist in the market place. We have created a new model for the industry that combines scalable and flexible data storage with scalable and flexible application processing.”

SoftLayer used industry-standard best-practices to create its SOA to deliver on the architectural style’s two fundamental concepts: – Enable a set of simple, ubiquitous, and open communication interfaces – Deliver data using an open schema (e.g. XML) through the interfaces SoftLayer’s SOA allows data to be captured, processed, and presented to users in a form chosen by the system administrator, delivering on the company’s commitment to give customers total control. The architecture is highly scalable, with the capacity to process millions of transactions per hour across thousands of physical and virtual servers, as well as with any number of related services.

Mr. Day added, ”Our goal is to virtualize all datacenter elements including the hardware, security, network, and embedded services to drive our vision of Serverless IT.”

This new expansion comes on the heels of SoftLayer’s recent investment of over $5 million, in the completion of an upgrade of its core networking infrastructure, as well opening a second datacenter facility in Dallas. The new facility features 220 new racks, more than doubling SoftLayer’s server capacity in Dallas. It has its own multiple power feeds supported by independent UPS systems and generators for failover, while leveraging the same network operations (NOC) as the existing SoftLayer facility.

As part of this expansion, a major core network backbone upgrade was completed to better serve all customers using the Dallas facilities. The upgrade included: Addition of three new Cisco 7600-S routers utilizing the latest RSP-720 Supervisor Engines; Upgrade of all existing 6500-E switches utilizing the latest Sup720-3CXL Supervisor Engines; DDOS and IDS protection with multiple Cisco Guard and Tipping Point installations; Continued deployment of 40g to the rack (20g public and 20g private) utilizing Cisco 3560-E rack switches.

The upgrade is anticipated to significantly improve performance for all SoftLayer customers as the new Cisco equipment provides increased CPU speed, more memory, and far greater routing capacity than the previous generation of equipment. SoftLayer continues pushing innovation by deploying the latest technologies and increasing its investment in retrofitting the existing environment.

Located in the INFOMART in Dallas, Texas, SoftLayer was formed in June 2005 by a team of industry executives seeking to deliver low cost next generation on-demand hosting services for the small to medium enterprise (SME). Utilizing proprietary software, coupled with the industry’s first network-within-a-network topology, the company delivers the power and control to securely manage IT environments while providing comprehensive scalability.

The new approach was developed to eliminate the cost and complexity of scaling web infrastructure, specifically for developers and companies looking to deploy large web applications. The company also announced today new utility pricing for its business-class hosting solution.

The Hosting Cloud offers power without complexity to provide significant benefits for developers. Current solutions are often complicated and require additional coding to use. Mosso, on the other hand, enables developers to get their applications up and running in three easy steps: choose a domain, select operating system of choice and set default technology. Another important benefit of Mosso — round-the-clock live tech support — is rare among cloud compute providers. Other recently added features of The Hosting Cloud include Ruby on Rails, Windows2008/IIS7 hosting and SFTP access.

Currently, for $100 per month, The Hosting Cloud includes 24×7 live technical support (phone and chat) and simple, online software to manage projects and clients. It offers 500 GB bandwidth, 50 GB disk space and 3 million web requests per month — enough to power almost any website or application. The solution also offers unlimited web applications and email accounts, restricted only by the included resources. The newly added web request metric is more straight-forward, granular and outcome-based than other units and formulas used – in hosting, it’s about as close to pay-per-use there is. As traffic grows, customers ‘pay-as-they-grow’ through Mosso’s utility pricing model that delivers capacity when and where it’s needed.

Todd Morey, Co-founder of Mosso noted, ”At Mosso, our mission is to deliver on the promise of cloud computing – to make it as easy as possible for people to deploy and run web applications. We say code it, load it and go. We want to deliver the best possible service and support to our customers so that they can focus on running their businesses, not their applications.”

Mosso also offers unlimited and automatic scaling for web applications. When a user exceeds the resources allotted in the $100/month membership, scale pricing kicks in to deliver just the capacity that’s needed.

Current pricing for additional capacity beyond the base membership is:
– Disk Space- $0.50/GB
– Bandwidth- $0.25/GB
– Requests- $0.03/1,000 requests

According to the company, with The Hosting Cloud, developers do not need to worry about underlying technology such as servers, VPS’s or operating systems. The new solution combines a ‘best-practices’ hosting environment with easy online management — allowing the developer to choose the framework that best meets their needs. Mosso’s QuickDeploy provisioning system is designed to automatically configure and provision each layer of the technology stack in order to maximize performance so that web applications automatically scale as traffic surges. Mosso’s new utility pricing model ensures that subscribers then pay for only the capacity they use. The Hosting Cloud supports Windows and Linux platforms as well as leading technologies such as PHP, Ruby on Rails and .NET.

Jon Shumate, Founder of Roseville, CA-based, web startup, Phoenomi, Inc. remarked, ”On today’s Internet, the right piece of content can go viral more quickly than ever before, and Mosso makes scaling to serve the load very easy. We are a start-up focused on developing uniquely fun and viral web products which — as they grow — will need tremendous capacity. Mosso has figured out how to take the hard parts of scaling and make them automatic by adding a layer of scaling intelligence over the traditionally ”dumb” service of hosting, and as a result they’ve become one hell of a cloud service.”

Mosso is a company of Rackspace, a leading provider of hosted IT services. The Hosting Cloud was created by Mosso to give developers access to the benefits of cloud computing without the technical complexities and trade-offs associated with existing solutions. To execute its vision, Mosso tapped into Rackspace’s technology expertise and deep resources to develop the next generation standards-based cloud computing technology that now runs The Hosting Cloud.

A recognized leader in the global IT marketplace, Rackspace delivers a diverse suite of enterprise-class hosted IT services to businesses of all sizes. Customers choose Rackspace for its hosting specialization and expertise, backed by the company’s award-winning Fanatical Support. Rackspace serves as an extension of its customers’ IT departments, by handling infrastructure maintenance and management. Rackspace’s portfolio of companies also includes the Mosso cloud computing platform and Mailtrust, a provider of business-class hosted email solutions.

Mosso, LLC is the home of The Hosting Cloud, providing enterprise-grade hosting through an easily managed interface so that developers, designers and IT managers can deploy reliable web applications quickly and easily. Founded by two former Rackspace employees, The Hosting Cloud is built upon a cross platform, clustered-computing architecture.

The result of 2 years intense development, the High Availability Server Architecture (HASA) is specifically designed for Webcity’s cPanel based shared hosting product. Cpanel is the worlds most popular control panel for shared hosting accounts, largely due to its flexibility and feature rich environment. It is intended that the HASA will be applied to all Webcity Professional Hosting plans.

Bennett Oprysa, COO of Webcity noted, ”With the current pricing structure of our Professional Hosting plans ranging from $6.95 to $12.95 per month, we are aiming at providing this solution to site owners for less than $100 per year.”

Webcity issued the following informaiton: ”Market trends are seeing a downward pressure on pricing for web hosting, however, as the market are also expecting high reliability, it’s important that any improvements and innovation are in line with that expectation.”

The HASA not only increases reliability in terms of providing real time redundancy in the case of any potentially problem server and it’s software, but it also minimises the time needed for scheduled outages. Traditional clustering models often focus on providing redundant network and server hardware. Other models aim at increasing software stability by separating various applications amongst different servers, but this has a number of limitations, and is particularly problematic in regards to cPanel.

The Webcity HASA includes full redundancy of all server and networking hardware there is no single point of failure. Whilst each cPanel server is at any point in time running from one dedicated physical server, this can be changed very easily and quickly, allowing for the replacement of a problem server.

The HASA structure also allows for software redundancy. This is done by switching between multiple instances of the same server software, in the case that an issue on the live server is software related rather than hardware related.

Mr. Oprysa added, ”All of this adds up to a solution that provides the ultimate in High Availability hosting, and is far superior to anything else on offer within the Australian Shared Hosting market. Combined with our ultra competitive pricing, the HASA makes webcity Professional Hosting services the clear choice for Australian small businesses.”

All new customers on Webcity’s Pro Hosting plans are hosted using the new server architecture. Existing customers will have the opportunity to migrate across to the new structure if they wish.
