Web Hosting Blog – SAN FRANCISCO – Managing open source hypervisors, including Xen and KVM, became a lot easier today with the release of ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise edition from Convirture Corp.

The open source version of ConVirt has been available for more than three years and is broadly deployed and well-tested in real-world data centers — having been downloaded more than 30,000 times. In fact, ConVirt1.x is included in most major Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Open SUSE, Debian and others.


ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise extends ConVirt Open Source with the advanced automation and scalability features necessary for running large-scale or mission-critical virtualized environments. By delivering high availability, backup and recovery, storage and network automation, and enterprise-grade security, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise enables IT managers to meet and exceed service levels while using infrastructure in the most efficient way.

ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise is also the go-to tool for enterprises ready to move beyond virtualized infrastructure management towards a hosted or private cloud model.  With an extensive cloud management feature set, which includes multi-tenant security, delegated control, scheduled provisioning, resource limiting, and many more, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise enables IT organizations to offer infrastructure-as-a-service, while ensuring full isolation and compliance with corporate policies.

“We’ve implemented a variety of virtualization platforms over the years and managing them all – especially the open source hypervisors – has always been the single biggest pain point,” said Steven Scoleri, Principal Architect at GSI Commerce, a leading provider of e-commerce and interactive marketing services. “Our beta test of ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise has gone very well and we think it just may be the game-changer we’ve been looking for. We no longer need experts on hand at all times to complete simple virtualization tasks. We look forward to further exploring ConVirt’s capabilities and using it to manage our entire open source-based virtual data center.”

“Until now, any organization that wanted a complete solution for managing and automating a virtual data center was locked into expensive and proprietary solutions like VMware vCenter,”,” said Arsalan Farooq, CEO of Convirture. “That changes today as ConVirt 2.0’s advanced automation, private cloud management, enterprise scalability and datacenter integration features now meet or exceed what’s available from proprietary platform vendors. With ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise, organizations considering Xen or KVM as open source alternatives to commercial virtualization platforms are no longer forced to compromise on manageability. ”

About ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise
ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise supports all of the features available with the ConVirt 2.0 Open Source product including:

- Server pool-based management
- Templates-based provisioning
- Monitoring and configuration management
- Comprehensive virtual machine administration
- Highly scalable, 3-tier, standards-based architecture

In addition, ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise delivers scalability, automation, and private cloud management features that were previously available only for proprietary virtualization platforms, including:

-  High availability: ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise ensures that mission-critical applications are always up and running by delivering a comprehensive high availability feature set, including virtual and physical machine failover;
- Backup and recovery: A full backup and recovery feature set ensures successful recovery from planned and unplanned outages. Scheduled and on-demand backups are supported. Restore modes can be for the most recent state or any earlier backup. Both virtual machine state and storage are captured, so virtual machines are brought up in a consistent state.
- Private Cloud Management: A data center that has been virtualized can be turned into a private, infrastructure-as-a-service cloud in a scalable and secure way, with support for full multi-tenant security, delegated control, scheduled provisioning, resource limiting and the ability to create virtual appliances that comply with corporate standards and publish them effortlessly to cloud users.
- Storage and network automation with ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise significantly streamlines the error-prone and time-consuming tasks of configuring network and storage in a virtualized environment. Storage configuration standardizes storage across a server pool by automating configuration of all storage types, including NFS, iSCSi, AOE, Fiber Channel and LVM. Network integration provides a centralized interface for managing virtual networks.
- Enterprise Integration: ConVirt 2.0 Enterprise provides a full suite of integration capabilities, including an open repository, command line interface, and programmatic APIs.

About Convirture
Convirture was founded in 2006 to help organizations effectively manage open source virtualization platforms. More information is available at www.convirture.com.

Web Hosting Blog – Princeton, NJ – Cloud Linux Inc., an innovative software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, today announces that ISPsystem will support SecureLVE™ in their control panel, ISPmanager. As one of the leading web server control panels, ISPmanager allows hosting service providers to manage various aspects of a web server via a friendly and easy-to-use web interface. Integrating SecureLVE into the control panel gives hosting providers new security controls previously unavailable.

SecureLVE is based on CloudLinux’s Lightweight Virtual Environment™ technology and creates a new level of security for shared hosting servers. SecureLVE provides a virtualized file system, which separates each user on the server into its own environment, preventing one user from seeing any other users on the server. This new server security makes it difficult for hackers to attack, deface, or steal data from the shared web server.


“We are very pleased to have SecureLVE integrated into ISPmanager because it will give hosting providers not only the control promised by CloudLinux but also the most secure shared hosting environment available,” states Cloud Linux Inc. Founder and CEO Igor Seletskiy.

Since it is based on CloudLinux’s Lightweight Virtual Environment technology that allows the administrator to control usage of the resources on a server at the tenant or application level, SecureLVE virtualizes a filesystem to limit the available applications, devices, and what a user can see in the file system to make it harder for an attacker to penetrate the server. Unlike existing technologies limited only to shell access, SecureLVE works across shell, CGI & cronjobs.

“Supporting CloudLinux with ISPmanager is a big win for our customers,” states Igor Chekushkin, ISPsystem CEO. “SecureLVE will fill the critical gap in security for shared hosting setup. Combining the ability to manage resources on a per tenant basis with the ease of ISPmanager will create a top of the line solution and a excellent experience for the end customers.”

The integration of SecureLVE into ISPmanager is further demonstration of Cloud Linux’s promise to help service providers improve efficiency and security of multi- tenant setups. SecureLVE provides system administrations functionality similar to container based virtualization, but on application level instead of the OS level. It will fill the gap between shared hosting and virtual private servers (VPS), and will allow server administrators to increase server stability and density while greatly improving the security of shared hosting.

Web Hosting Blog – San Antonio TX - DualRack announced today its new Enkompass web hosting packages which run on multiple Windows Server 2008 machines. The Enkompass control panel, also known as the Web Site Owner (WSO) panel, is very similar in its look and feel as compared to the existing cPanel Linux control panel. This will make it extremely easy for current cPanel users to make the switch over to a Windows hosting account.

cPanel has been hard at work over the last couple of years trying to get a stable release of Enkompass out there. The first stable version has now been released and DualRack is one of only a small number of web hosting providers that offers it. Two DualRack CEO’s, Andrew Wietlispach & Neilson Robin stated that they “Wanted to make their companies windows web hosting as user friendly as possible.” Andrew also quoted “We have always had outstanding feedback on the cPanel control panel from our Linux customers and we knew this was going to be our choice when it came to offering Windows web hosting.”

Numerous online polls have shown that many existing Linux web hosting clients have expressed interest in trying out Windows web hosting if they only had a control panel that they were truly comfortable with. With Enkompass now on the market the cPanel company is confident some of these users may give Windows a try. The Enkompass system utilizes IIS7 and offers both MySQL and MSSQL.

Web Hosting Blog – PALO ALTO, CA - HP (NYSE:HPQ) today introduced a new way for clients to cut capital investment requirements for the design and build of data centers in half while significantly decreasing their carbon footprint.(1)

The patent-pending HP Flexible Data Center (HP Flexible DC) offers a standardized, modular approach to designing and building data centers that allows clients to replace traditional data center designs with a flexible solution that can be expanded as needed while conserving resources.


“The pressure to save on capital and operating expenditures is one of the most critical issues facing enterprises today,” said David J. Cappuccio, vice president and chief of research, Gartner. “When building new data centers, clients need to consider options that support business growth, while also saving time and costs.”

“Financial institutions create an enormous volume of data, which means they need to be able to quickly add capacity to their data center without disrupting business,” Bob Cashner, senior vice president, Corporate Properties, Wells Fargo. “HP Flexible DC is a promising new approach to the way organizations can meet computing demands efficiently while addressing capital-intensive data center costs.”

HP Flexible DC “butterfly” design

HP Flexible DC is based on a “butterfly” design featuring four prefabricated quadrants, or modules, that stem off a central administrative section. The offering uses industrial components to improve cost efficiencies as well as a streamlined building process with a variety of options for power and cooling distribution.

HP Critical Facilities Services – which provides consulting and design engineering and architecture services – collaborates with clients to evaluate their needs and to help with the planning and implementation of all aspects of their data center infrastructures.

“Clients, such as financial service providers, government entities, and cloud and colocation hosts, will find the scalable and modular nature of HP Flexible DC a compelling option,” said Kfir Godrich, chief technology officer, Technology Services, HP. “HP can help clients innovate the way they build and operate a greenfield data center for greater savings over its life span.”

Features of HP Flexible DC include:

* Prefabricated, standardized components allow clients to shorten the time it takes to build and deploy a data center, resulting in lower capital costs and faster time to market.
* The modular design extends clients’ ability to increase scalable capacity while retaining specified levels of reliability and redundancy.
* Specific configurations optimize the use of power and cooling resources to lower energy and water use, enabling clients to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and a facility’s carbon footprint.
* Air-cooled, rather than water-cooled, mechanical systems save clients power and potentially millions of gallons of water annually.
