(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.

There is much to consider when choosing a control panel, but one of the most important of all is its user-friendliness.  This is especially true for a reseller as your hosting customers will likely range from newcomers to more advanced users.  An ideal solution would be finding a control panel that bridges that gap between both types of users.  It is understandable that everyone would prefer a control panel which is simple to navigate as it makes it much easier to find the tools and services they need to access.  The control panel market is expanding rapidly, but we have listed some of the best options for your reselling hosting endeavors.

HostFlow

Though a relative newcomer, the HostFlow control panel is quickly shaking up the web hosting control panel market and serving as worthy competition to the industry leading players.  As of now, HostFlow is the only control panel that allows hosts to sell web hosting plans, bulk web services and dedicated servers through both direct and indirect sales channels.  A complete hosting automation system, it supports a number of modules that facilitate server, customer, order and billing management, allowing users to get the most of their reseller business.  If you are a seeking a product with the ability to automate virtually every aspect of the hosting delivery process, HostFlow could the solution for you.

Ensim

The Ensim software makes another great choice for a control panel.  It offers a wide variety of features as well four levels of administration, reseller option included.  Ensim makes it easy to create hosting accounts, manage your clients, monitor bandwidth and much more.  All of your administrative tasks can be handled in far less time as everything goes through a streamlined, centralized interface.  Ensim is known as a very flexible solution that supports both Linux and Windows platforms.

H-Sphere

H-Sphere also runs on both Linux and Windows servers.  This is perhaps one of the most advanced and complex of all web hosting control panels on the market.  The major plus as that the software gives you a lot of power as the features are virtually unlimited.  This software is ideal for experienced users as it streamlines the reselling process with extensive billing options and total automation.  If you want a reseller hosting control panel that does it all, H-Sphere is definitely worth a closer look.

Zervex DSM

While it is not as well known as the other options, Zervex DSM is one control panel that demands attention.  The software has a clean, easy navigable interface that benefits both server administrators and webmasters alike.  Zervex allows you to administer multiple websites or a multitude of servers through a powerful web-based interface.  The software has three levels: Server Administrator, Reseller and End User.  Each interface is identical from a graphical aspect, providing easy to use tools at ever level.  Equipped with the built-in Plug-ins manager, your customers will enjoy the ability to install well over 30 open-source software applications with the click of a button.  Zervex DMS makes a solid choice if you want to give back to your loyal clients.

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.
