R1Soft’s overhead for the backup processes is so low we don’t even notice that R1Soft is running in the background, it just works,” said Alexander McMillen, President and CEO of Sliqua.

(The Hosting News) – Ann Arbor, Mich. – NEXCESS.NET, a provider of shared hosting, dedicated servers, colocation and server clusters, announced today the expansion of its backup services making R1Soft Continuous Data Protection® (CDP) available to its entire client base.
R1Soft’s enterprise-level backup solution protects NEXCESS.NET clients’ mission-critical data on Linux and Windows servers with near-continuous, disk-based backups which can be scheduled as often as every 15 minutes. Clients will also benefit from maximum uptime with Bare-Metal Restores, which skip the OS reinstallation step, allowing data to be recovered from any point-in-time backup within minutes.
NEXCESS.NET will offer R1Soft backup access through the newly integrated InterWorx Control Panel to all shared hosting clients for free and will be offering managed backup services to its VPS and dedicated clients as well.
“Our initial deployment of R1Soft demonstrated how easy-to-use the software was and how simply it just worked. The recent integration of R1Soft CDP with the InterWorx control panel was crucial to our backup services expansion because now we can centralize our entire backup system and provide a more complete offering for our clients. We are very pleased with the outcome and anticipate even further expansion if all goes accordingly,” said Chris Wells, CEO of NEXCESS.NET.
R1Soft’s disk-based CDP software works by reading data at the sector level and only recording data that has changed since the last backup. This type of incremental backups empowers NEXCESS.NET with the ability to offer clients high-performance backup services they can truly depend on without experiencing a negative impact on server performance.

(The Hosting News) – Using the latest advances in server hardware combined with industry-leading virtualization software Virtuozzo, TurnKey Internet has created a new line of hybrid servers. These fully-managed hybrids offer the performance and reliability of TurnKey’s dedicated servers, with increased energy efficiency at an affordable price.
While a traditional dedicated web server is often under-utilized and idle between tasks, it still consumes a large amount of electricity. The optimized resources on TurnKey Internet’s hybrid servers provide dedicated web server performance for up to 8 clients on one machine. This ensures peak operation while using less energy per client, allowing environmentally conscious businesses and individuals the opportunity to purchase a high-quality web hosting solution that saves them money while reducing their carbon footprint.
“The hybrid server finds the perfect balance of price, performance and reliability and it’s very environmentally friendly,” said Adam Wills, President and CEO of TurnKey Internet. “Choosing a hybrid server over a dedicated server is like car-pooling, saving energy while still getting where you need to go.”
All of TurnKey Internet’s hybrid servers are backed by 24×7 gold-level, fully-managed support previously only available on their dedicated line. With a choice of Windows or Linux, each hybrid server includes free cPanel or Plesk, bare metal off-site back-ups, a managed firewall, system administrative assistance, security monitoring and auditing and free server migration assistance.

Redwood City, California – (The Hosting News) – May 28, 2009 – The developer of the LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning, LinMin, has produced its Release 5.4, featuring a high-performance disk imaging subsystem for disaster recovery and new operating system media management.
The newly updated ”Turbo-Imaging” solution also includes an updated Linux and Windows Server provisioning, extensive logging and numerous other features requested by corporate, cloud and hosting company data center managers.
Turbo-Imaging brings disaster recovery to a new level with automatic file system detection, intelligent compression and other capabilities that make it easy for data center managers to quickly roll systems back to a known-good state in case of software corruption, malicious attack or other failure. Combining server provisioning (remote, unattended operating system installation) and disk imaging in a single product makes LinMin an indispensable solution in deploying, repurposing and recovering the commodity hardware infrastructure layer used in hosting, corporate, cloud and other data center environments.
Andrew Cartwright, CTO of FiberHosting remarked, ”We use LinMin extensively in our three hosting data centers for provisioning and imaging our Linux and Windows servers. We are now implementing LinMin’s application programming interface (API) to enable FiberHosting customers with dedicated servers to control their systems from the bare metal up. This increases customer satisfaction and reduces our own operating expenses.”
Laurent Gharda, CEO and founder of LinMin Corp noted, ”The positive feedback we’re getting from customers is most gratifying. There is no substitute for hosting, cloud and corporate data center staff feedback to drive LinMin’s roadmap for solving real world problems. As new vendors and solutions emerge to manage already-deployed physical and virtual systems, the forgotten piece of the data center cost equation remains the labor-intensive deployment, re-purposing and recovery of the hardware layer itself. LinMin helps customers optimize exactly that.”
Pricing:
LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning 5.4 is available immediately and is available for purchase and download at www.LinMin.com. LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning for Linux and Windows is priced at $249 for up to 10 client systems, $999 for up to 100 client systems, $1,999 for up to 250 client systems, $3,499 for up to 500 client systems and $5,999 for up to 1,000 client systems.
LinMin provides software that remotely provisions and images Linux and Windows on servers, blades, PCs, appliances and virtual machines. LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning (LBMP) is the industry’s only truly affordable system provisioning and imaging solution that can be implemented by IT organizations of any size with very limited budgets. LinMin is based in Redwood City, Calif. with development and QA offices in Menlo Park and San Rafael, California.
