R1Soft, Web Hosting Software Solutions Firm, Sponsors Boston Red Hat Summit

Houston, Texas - (The Hosting News) - June 25, 2008 - Developer of near-continuous data protection products for Linux and Windows, R1Soft, through a Gold level sponsorship, recently participated in the fourth annual open source technology conference, Red Hat Summit, held in Boston, Massachusetts.

R1Soft promoted its CDP Server for Linux, which is the only near-Continuous backup software available for Linux servers. Near-Continuous backup means efficient backup windows — usually as short as 15 minutes, even on large, heavily loaded servers. R1Soft uses a unique kernel level backup technology it developed, bringing savings and efficiency on a level never before seen for Linux. This is significant in a world where a Linux server backup can typically take hours or days to complete without R1Soft’s CDP technology.

David Wartell, Vice President, R1Soft division, BBS Technologies noted, ”Our software offers the only near-Continuous backup for Linux in the world. This is an important opportunity for R1Soft to get the word out to the Linux community that the nightly backup window is finally dead and gone with our efficient kernel level Continuous Data Protection technology.”

R1Soft hosted ”The Future of Linux Server Backup: Near-Continuous Data Protection,” an education session on Wednesday, June 18 at 2:45 pm for conference attendees. The company discussed serious challenges posed to system administrators due to rapid data growth. The session provided an overview of backup techniques for Linux servers and demonstrate how Continuous Data Protection technology (CDP) is the future of Linux server backup and restore.

R1Soft exhibited at space #S11 on the floor of the exhibit hall, where it offered a variety of promotional materials and run its popular prize wheel. Attendees have the chance to win one of many floor prizes, including CDP Starter packs, t-shirts, penguins, and cash.

In addition, R1Soft recently relocated its new corporate headquarters, in the historic Montrose district of Houston, Texas. R1Soft’s new home, located at 110 Avondale in Houston, Texas, provides the rapidly growing company with the floor space it needs to continue to roll out innovative data protection products. The new building celebrated its 100 year anniversary this past May.

R1Soft’s parent company, BBS Technologies Inc., uses several other historic properties in the area. The company’s campus-like environment attracts the best and brightest software developers.

Founded in 2003, R1Soft is a provider of disk-based backup solutions. The company’s customer list includes some of the world’s largest hosting providers. R1soft products provide Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for over 85,000 mission-critical Linux and Windows servers worldwide. In November, 2007 R1Soft was acquired by BBS Technologies, Inc.

Web Hosting Network Cloud Storage Solution, Includes Content Delivery Services

San Diego, California - (The Hosting News) - June 25, 2008 - Global, full-service content delivery network (CDN) and ”Cloud Storage” platform provider optimized for media, Nirvanix, has worked to develop what it reports, is the industry’s only unified cloud storage and content delivery service.

Richard Villars, Vice President for Storage Systems research at IDC noted, ”Maximizing the monetary value of all digital content is a requirement for all companies, but is especially critical for companies in the entertainment and e-learning industries. They need solutions that allow them to quickly deliver the latest popular content while also making rich pools of archival content available for discriminating customers. The combination of solutions like Nirvanix’s cloud-based Storage Delivery Network with a content delivery network like CDNetworks will make it easier for content owners to cost-effectively make all of their content available to the widest range of customers.”

With the new service, CDNetworks’ customers will be able to store unlimited amounts of protected and secure content online and move content instantly to and from any of CDNetworks’ 63 nodes worldwide at previously unseen economies. The partnership with CDNetworks will provide Nirvanix customers with the ability to not only securely store massive amounts of media and content but also stage content for instant delivery anywhere in the world, utilizing one of CDNetworks’ data centers for local delivery. By combining these services, companies will have better overall media delivery capability and also save 80 to 90 percent over building or growing storage infrastructures of their own.

CDNetworks Library Storage solution provides CDNetworks’ customers with geographically redundant storage nodes with no file size limitation and 100 percent content offload from their origin servers to the cloud. This secure and redundant edge-storage is particularly beneficial to companies with massive amounts of online video and data files. Storing all content on the cloud brings significant efficiencies, particularly when compared to building and delivering content from an in-house infrastructure on a global scale. The architecture that results from this partnership is a model whereby CDNetworks’ caching infrastructure is unified with the persistent storage of Nirvanix. As the demand and popularity for a piece of content changes, the data is moved between cache and cloud storage.

Typically, online storage services significantly limit the ability to store infrequently accessed content and restrict file sizes to a few gigabytes. In addition, media files are often only stored at one or two locations. The CDNetworks Library Storage solution does not put any of these restrictions on customers.

Simon Lee, CEO of CDNetworks U.S. explained, ”The combination of CDNetworks and Nirvanix brings today’s content-rich companies a secure and efficient way to offload their infrastructure for content storage and delivery, allowing them to focus entirely on the content itself. This collaboration with Nirvanix demonstrates CDNetworks’ continued efforts to provide industry-leading technology solutions that help our customers dramatically improve their content delivery performance and reduce costs, while optimizing their end users’ online experiences.”

As a leader in the cloud storage sector, Nirvanix provides a global cluster of storage nodes collectively referred to as the Storage Delivery Network (SDN), powered by the proprietary Nirvanix Internet Media File System (IMFS). The SDN is optimized for media and intelligently stores and processes storage requests in the best location in its global network to provide the best performance and highest availability. With automatic data replication based on a selectable policy, the SDN is the only cloud storage service that can guarantee a 100% SLA.

Patrick Harr, Founder and CEO of Nirvanix added, ”The integration of our Storage Delivery Network into CDNetworks’ leading CDN service is a great win for media and content-rich companies. We founded Nirvanix to provide media companies with the most cost-effective, high performance media storage service with global on-demand scalability to exabytes of content. By combining the advantages of our SDN with CDNetworks’ CDN service, customers can now benefit from the only end-to-end platform service that intelligently stores and delivers all their content, including short and long-tail, at price, scale and performance points not available before.”

CDNetworks brings extensive data security and copyright protection to all content delivered though its service. Digital Rights Management encrypts multimedia content and only allows playback for authorized users, while the Media Authentication technology prevents unauthorized users from viewing streaming multimedia content by assigning access privileges. Additionally, CDNetworks’ Recording Interception capability prevents the recording of streaming media content for illegal distribution by terminating the download of distorting images when illegal recording is detected.

Privately held Nirvanix, based in San Diego, California, is the premier global ”Cloud Storage” platform provider optimized for media and large files. The company has raised more than $18 million in funding from world-class investors including Intel Capital and counts as customers Fortune 50, leading media and entertainment companies as well as innovative Web 2.0 leaders.

CDNetworks, a top-three global, full-service content delivery network (CDN), provides technology, network infrastructure, and customer services that accelerate the delivery of Internet content and applications to end users around the world. CDNetworks provides a comprehensive suite of technology for video streaming, large-volume-files downloads, and image caching, which delivers unparalleled quality of performance, service, and reliability. World-leading media and entertainment, technology, retail, and online gaming companies rely on CDNetworks to optimize their end users’ online experiences. CDNetworks, founded in 2000 in Seoul, Korea, has subsidiaries in the US, China and Japan and is publicly traded on Korea’s KOSDAQ exchange (KOSDAQ:073710 - News).

Dedicated Server Solutions Firm, Supported247.com, Debuts Total Care Services

London, United Kindgom - (The Hosting News) - June 26, 2008 - IT Support Solutions firm, Supported247.com, has debuted the launch of its Total Care service, designed as a fixed fee, full proactive monitoring support package, for the small and medium sized companies.

The package provides its clients with their own virtual IT Department. The service fee includes: All remote support, on-site support, access to technicians Monday - Friday 08:00 to 20:00, 24 hour access to the help desk via the web Full Pro|Active monitoring of all systems, System and security patch management, and 24 hour access to technical assistance available.

Adam Tachauer-Yates, Technical Services Director noted, ”Aimed at companies with little or no IT Support, Total Care has been developed to provide clients with their own IT Department. If you had your own IT Department you would not pay them extra for leaving their desk to visit a user, you would expect your IT Department to monitor and manage your IT services within the cost and not charge you any more for doing their job. Total Care is the same. The fixed monthly fee includes all support both remote and on-site and allows our customers to budget with certainty which is very important in today’s financial climate.”

The majority of support companies do not include on-site support within their fee and make additional charges when engineers attend site to resolve issues.

Mr. Tachauer-Yates added, ”Given the choice between fixed price and hourly rate most SME’s will opt for a fixed price service contract. We have complete confidence in our ability to resolve our clients’ issues quickly and efficiently and therefore offer fixed fee support contracts that include all onsite support. Developing our own tools to support our clients when there are fantastic tools on the market today would have been an unnecessary cost that ultimately would be passed on to our clients.”

Supported247.com engages tools in the industry to monitor and support systems. The Total Care Service is available on a 12 month contract, guaranteed by a Service Level Agreement and costs from 210.00 pounds per month for a 5 computer network with 1 server (subject to terms and conditions).
