Bangalore, India - (The Hosting News) - March 27, 2008 - Virtualization solutions firm, VMware, Inc., has committed to a multi-year initiative for the purpose of expanding its India-based research and development (R and D) operations.
VMware already has a strong presence across India with offices in Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, Delhi, and Mumbai. The initiative was announced today by VMware president and CEO Diane Greene at a news conference in Bangalore.
The initiative includes:
Ms. Greene explained, ”Great products are built by great people. India has both an excellent technical education infrastructure and outstanding people. We highly value our Indian citizen employees. India is also one of our fastest growing markets and where we have increasingly important system integrator partners. For these reasons, we are now substantively increasing our investment in India.”
VMware entered India in 2004. The company has more than 300 customers and more than 160 channel partners in the country. With offices in 5 cities, VMware employs nearly 700 people, including more than 500 developers, across India. It has established strong ties to local universities in India including IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, NIT Trichi, NIT Surathkal, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the RV College of Engineering.
The new Bangalore development center expands on existing R and D operations in Bangalore and Pune. The center supports new and ongoing research and development across the company’s entire portfolio of solutions for datacenter and desktop virtualization. The new 82,000 square foot development center is located in South Bangalore and includes a 4,000 square foot computer lab.
Earlier this year VMware announced major enhancements to the VMware VIP Partner Program. The enhancements help make it easier for the company’s 10,000 channel partners to quickly establish or expand their virtualization practices and offer their customers increased value through VMware’s market-leading virtualization solutions.
VMware provides virtualization solutions from the desktop to the datacenter. Customers of all sizes rely on VMware to reduce capital and operating expenses, ensure business continuity, strengthen security and go green. With 2007 revenues of $1.3 billion, more than 100,000 customers and more than 10,000 partners, VMware is one of the fastest growing public software companies. VMware is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

London, United Kingdom - (The Hosting News) - March 27, 2008 - The London Internet Exchange (LINX), will co-host the 4 day Global Peering Forum 3.0 In Miami, where network exchange providers may enhance peering relationships.
The event will be attended by 190 global peering coordinators from around the world. LINX is joined by partners Equinix, Switch and Data, Terremark, AMS-IX and DE-CIX in hosting this forum designed to examine the latest technical developments in the industry.
Launched in 2006, the Global Peering Forum has brought together peering coordinators from North America, Europe, South America, and Asia in a neutral environment to discuss interconnection of their autonomous networks. In addition, participants will hear in-depth presentations from industry experts on peering rollouts, policies, trends and general technical topics of interest to the peering coordinator community.
John Souter, Chief Executive Officer at LINX commented, ”We at LINX have always been committed to the work of the peering community so we are pleased to be supporting the Global Peering Forum. As the impact of the Internet in everyday life increases, it is vital that peering professionals come together to exchange ideas and technical knowledge to meet customer demands and anticipate future trends. We are delighted to be working alongside many of the world’s leading Internet Exchanges at this event.”
Peering is defined as a way to exchange data between networks on a settlement free or partial settlement basis. Internet service providers and content delivery service providers transfer data between each other at locations called peering points or Internet Exchanges. At these sites, routers transfer messages between backbones using layer 2 switches or other dynamic interconnection systems. These systems are globally tied together by connecting high-capacity fiber optic lines owned by network service providers. Attendance at the forum, which will be held from March 31 through April 3, is by invitation only and limited to peering coordinators.
LINX now has members in over 40 countries and territories. It is interesting to note that while a large proportion of members come from the traditional LINX heartland of Europe, the gap with the rest of the world is beginning to close. Nearly a quarter of all members are now based outside Europe with those in North America equating to 14.7% with a further 7.5% coming from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania.
LINX recently presented its Conspicuous Contribution Award, to Dr Richard Clayton, an academic at Cambridge University and consultant for LINX member, THUS plc (incorporating founding LINX member, Demon Internet). The presentation was made during the recent LINX member meeting at the Goodenough College in London in November and judging by the warm reception given to Dr. Clayton by the delegates, it was a very popular decision indeed. The ‘Conspicuous Contribution’ prize was first given in 2006 to Nigel Titley of Easynet who was a LINX council member from its 1994 formation through to 2006.
LINX is a mutual organization owned and consisting of approximately 250 Internet service providers and content delivery service providers. It allows competing networks to exchange Internet traffic cost-effectively, bringing speed and efficiency benefits to their customers. The LINX platform enables access to Internet routes, reaching more countries, than any other public peering point. LINX operates in a regulatory and policy environment that is supportive of network operators and the Internet community, which it strives to maintain and reinforce through its Public Affairs activities. The LINX network includes over 550 connected member ports, over 50 member-facing 10GigE ports, and over 150Gb/sec of peak traffic.

Renton, Washington- (The Hosting News) - March 27, 2008 - Server virtualization firm, Parallels, has entered into a merger acquisition of ModernGigabyte, the creators of the ModernBill automated billing system, while preparing for its Summit 2008.
Parallels will acquire all of the assets of ModernGigabyte, including products, services, intellectual property, and staff. ModernGigabyte products include: hosting and service provider billing system, ModernBill, real-time payment and credit card processing service, ModernAuthorize, automated delivery system for SSL cetificates, SSL Factory, automated domain registration service, ModernDNS, and real-time fraud checking service for online ordering, FraudGuardian. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Parallels plans to maintain the current pricing structure of the products.
ModernBill may be offered along with Plesk for a complete reseller package, for dedicated hosting providers. Parallels ISV partners that have deployed the Application Packaging Standard (APS), will have a ready to deliver solution, for hosting companies to sell products.
The latest version of ModernBill is hoped to be the ideal complement to the Parallels family of control panels including Plesk, Virtuozzo, Parallels Pro and Helm. Development will continue to be performed by our development team and support processes will remain in place to ensure no interruption to your existing business. The acquisition will provide access to a wider array of resources to maintain the product more efficiently and effectively over the long term.
In the near future, Plesk will be bundled with ModernBill by many of Parallels channel partners, to provide one of the most advanced control panel integrations produced to date.
Finally, Parallels is preparing for its Summit 2008, scheduled to take place in Washington DC from May 19-20, instead of its regular gathering in Louisville for its 4th Annual Hosting Workshop. Parallels will combine its resources to offer all of the traditional labs in the past, along with the new activities scheduled.
Parallels (formerly SWsoft) is a worldwide leader in virtualization and automation software that optimizes computing for consumers, businesses, and service providers across all major hardware, operating systems, and virtualization platforms. Founded in 1999, Parallels is a fast-growing company with 900 employees in North America, Europe, and Asia.
