Round Tale
Web Hosting news and views!

(The Hosting News) – On every front – marketing and sales, new customer acquisition and product development – Open-Xchange has made significant strides already in 2010, including an April 2010 Editors’ Choice Award for providing customers with the very best service and support, based on editorial and consumer reviews.
In March, the provider of business-class open source collaboration software moved to increase its U.S. sales presence by adding Behshad Behnam as vice president of sales, Americas. The former Parallels executive spearheads service provider initiatives for Open-Xchange.
Last month, the company introduced simplified SaaS partner pricing with different partner levels based on the providers’ customer base, along with two options of pricing – flat rate and guaranteed revenue. In both pricing options, partners receive Open-Xchange Webmail and PIM (personal information manager) free for all their customers to enable them to replace their existing webmail solution as part of the new partner pricing.
Today, Open-Xchange is used by leading hosting providers in the U.S., such as Dotster and Network Solutions, as well as 1&1 Internet in the U.S. and Germany. The company increased users to more than 15 million people worldwide – an increase of 80 percent in 2009.
Among the most recent customers to be added are:
1&1 Internet, the largest webhosting company worldwide, which is providing Open-Xchange based webmail and PIM functionality to all its 6 million e-mail accounts worldwide.
Dotster Inc., which started making available its business e-mail offering including synchronization with mobile devices, both powered by Open-Xchange.
Versatel, Germany’s third-largest telecommunications provider, which replaced its webmail system providing more than 1 million users with Open-Xchange webmail.
Bull Germany, with approximately 8,000 employees worldwide and 500 employees in Germany, now offers Open-Xchange mail and groupware to its German customers. Bull customers can use Open-Xchange as a hosted solution provided by Bull or run it in-house as on-premises installation – and switch between the types of operation any time they like.
Softline, the leading software reseller in Russia and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States), announced it will resell on-premises and hosted Open-Xchange.
Dinahosting, the leading independent company in the Spanish market for registering domains and hosting services and an independent provider of Internet business services, will be the first partner to offer Open-Xchange in Spain.
The company also continues to add capabilities at an aggressive pace.
The Open-Xchange 4PSA VoipNow Bundle is the result of a partnership with 4PSA, an innovative software supplier specializing in Unified Communications, VoIP delivery solutions, business and operations automation. It gives users telephone and fax integrated with e-mail, contacts, calendar and task information. By combining Open-Xchange with Unified Communications and Virtual PBX solutions, businesses can replace their traditional phone lines – saving on phone bills.
In addition, software called 4PSA OXtender for Plesk now enables hosters and SaaS providers to replace Plesk Webmail in shared hosting environments with Open-Xchange business-class e-mail and groupware – providing users with additional PIM (Personal Information Management) features at no extra cost with an option to move to full groupware, as well as support for mobile devices. The new software simplifies Open-Xchange deployment and significantly reduces set up time by automating management of Plesk changes, such as password changes, mailbox renames and removals.
In February, Open-Xchange began offering its e-mail and groupware in cooperation with hardware manufacturer Pyramid as pre-configured and ready-to-run appliances for up to either 50 users or 300. The hardware appliances include an e-mail and collaboration server, document management, backup/recovery, virus and spam protection, plus Linux operating system. Open-Xchange hardware appliances are offered in two configurations for partners in North America and all European Union countries.
Working with eleven, Germany’s leading e-mail security provider, Open-Xchange users can now take advantage of eleven’s e-mail security solution called, eXpurgate, which is scalable, easy to integrate, and offers a spam detection rate of more than 99 percent.

(The Hosting News) – Extreme Networks, Inc. today announced highly scalable 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network solutions at Interop Las Vegas. The VIM3-40G4X adds four 40 GbE connections to the award-winning Summit(R) X650 Top-of-Rack stackable switches for $3,995, or less than $1,000 per port. The new module is fully compatible with the existing Summit X650 and Summit X480 stackable switches, preserving customers’ investments while providing a smooth upgrade to greatly increased scalability of both virtualized and non-virtualized data centers.
“As data centers increase in server density through consolidation efforts and the use of virtualization, 40 GbE connectivity from the network core to Top-of-Rack switches becomes critical to providing the performance and scale required of the network,” said Shehzad Merchant, senior director of strategy for Extreme Networks. “Furthermore, as servers move to native 10 GbE connectivity, the need for 40 GbE at the top-of-rack becomes even more acute.”
At Interop Las Vegas, Extreme Networks is demonstrating the VIM3-40G4X installed in a Summit X650 stackable switch in a “Top-of-Rack” configuration connected to the BlackDiamond(R) 8800 chassis with a four port 40 GbE module configured as the Data Center core. All of the industry-leading features of the ExtremeXOS(R) modular operating system, including Layer 2/Layer 3 forwarding, redundancy and resiliency features such as EAPS, and the ability to bond together multiple links, are implemented at 40 GbE speeds.
Extreme Networks recent announcement of its XNV VM Lifecycle Management and the Direct Attach network virtualization architecture, named a Best of Interop Finalist in the virtualization category, are fully supported with 40 GbE at their release.
40 GbE is poised to become a data center infrastructure requirement, where it serves as an aggregation technology necessary to build data centers with high performance servers that are supporting virtualized services, video, storage and traditional applications.
“The debut of 40 GbE at Interop highlights the scalability of our existing data center solutions while enabling a ‘no forklift upgrade’ for customers,” continued Merchant. “As servers and storage quickly migrate to higher density 10 GbE connectivity, a compelling need arises for increased scalability in the data center. With the introduction of 40 GbE, Extreme Networks furthers its commitment to cost-effectively scaling data center, as customers migrate from physical networks, to virtual networks and on to the cloud.”
These high performance data center network solutions are being showcased at Extreme Networks Interop booth #2143 and include the new VIM3-40G4X module for the Summit(R) X650 Top-of-Rack switch. Working with Ixia, Extreme Networks is demonstrating wire-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet interface modules for its Summit X650 and BlackDiamond(R) 8800 switches at its Interop booth. Utilizing Ixia’s IxYukon and IxNetwork test solutions, Extreme Networks demonstrates wire-speed 40Gbps performance and can process 60 million packets per second (120Mpps full duplex) of data center traffic between ToR and EoR switches.
Pricing and Availability: Extreme Networks VIM3-40G4X for the Summit X650 series switch will be in customer trial in the third quarter of 2010 and customer shipment follows at the U.S. list price of $3,995.
