Tampa, Florida - (The Hosting News) - April 1, 2008 - Dedicated hosting provider, Hivelocity.net, is offering dedicated KVM-over-IP units to all of its dedicated server accounts, whereby any server can be outfitted with a Lantronix SecureLinx Spider KVM.
Pricing for the new service is $29 per month. Hivelocity is currently promoting this new feature by allowing a dedicated KMV to be installed with $0 setup fee until April 15th. Once the promotion ends a standard $75 setup fee will apply.
KVM-over-IP (keyboard, video, mouse) enables a customer to have 24/7 virtual hands-on console access to their server. KVM is great for anyone that wishes to maintain control of nearly every aspect of their server without having to involve anyone but themselves.
Steve Eschweiler, General Manager at Hivelocity noted, ”Some people rely on our support team for everything, some people like the idea of relying only on themselves. Allowing any server to have permanent KVM-over-IP access will satisfy those customers who crave 100% control of their server.”
Each KVM unit is connected directly to the server and allows non-blocked access from any web browser, anywhere, at any time. Without the need of any additional software, KVM-over-IP enables BIOS-level control of servers and allows up to 8 simultaneous users.
Recently, Hivelocity garnered placement on Inc. Magazine’s annual list of fastest growing companies in America. With a three year growth rate of nearly 200% Hivelocity came in at #1834, which ranks as the 6th fastest growing IT Company in Florida. Hivelocity attributes its growth and success to its ability to provide the latest in server technology at a fraction of what the competition charges while consistently remaining atop their 99.9% network uptime guarantee. Hivelocity’s most recent server line includes Intel’s latest generation of Quad-Core Xeon Harpertown processors. According to WebHostingStuff’s objective network uptime tracker, Hivelocity has been very reliable with a 99.98% uptime record over several years. With its new line of energy efficient and cooler running servers Hivelocity’s operating costs are sure to decrease which should result in even lower server pricing down the road.
Since 2001, Hivelocity has offered 99.9 percent network uptime, specializing in dedicated web hosting and co-location, providing services to thousands of customers from all over the world.

Tokyo, Japan - (The Hosting News) - April 1, 2008 - NTT Communications Corporation, (NTT Com), has debuted the launch of its Global Unified Threat Managed (Global UTM) service, designed to provide Arcstar Global IP-VPN customers with integrated services for planning, constructing, managing and implementing effective protection against network security threats.
Global UTM utilizes a range of security technologies to provide IP-VPNs with comprehensive protection against threats. A service package typically includes modules for integrated firewall, IPSec VPN, iIntrusion Protection System(IPS) antivirus content and spam filtering. The service enables customers to utilize outsourced security management with 24/7 support to monitor their network traffic and protect themselves against threats that could potentially impact their businesses.
Security incidents are managed expertly by NTT Com’s Security Operation Center (SOC), which specializes in root-cause analysis, incident remediation and other security-management measures. The service offers numerous competitive features, including: - Comprehensive security management for global enterprise networks. - Integrated suite of services covering a variety of security measures. - World-class security developed in collaboration with leading third-party research centers. - Real-time identification of threats and rapid recovery for minimized impact. - Total-cost optimization of global security management. Multinational companies are demanding security-management services on a single platform to help them prevent or minimize increasingly sophisticated threats to their network security.
In particular, multinationals need to be able to manage server, PC and firewall security locally and contain security incidents before they spread throughout their global networks. With the service, hardware and software is installed locally on the client’s premises by dedicated engineers of NTT Com and its overseas affiliates or partners, with support from device vendors.
A key option is the Real Time Event Notification Service, which provides immediate notification of any security threat exceeding a client-specified level. Professional security engineers are available on a 24/7 basis to analyze security events and devise rapid countermeasures. NTT Com will launch the Global Unified Threat Managed Service in Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, U.K., U.S. and Vietnam beginning April 1. Three levels of service will be available depending on client needs.

Renowned as an IPv6 technology pioneer and managed service expert, NTT Com offers diverse high-quality IP, web-based, and managed network solutions combining network management, security, ubiquitous, web portals/engines, and global services.

Amsterdam, Netherlands - (The Hosting News) - April 2, 2008 - Carrier-neutral data center that operates CO2-neutral, EvoSwitch, has entered into an agreement with network manager, Continuon, to increase the power capacity for its data centre from 10 MVA to 20 MVA (20 million Watts).
New cabling will be laid up to the building to transport the large quantities of power (green electricity: Zeeuws Groen) to the data center. EvoSwitch has been working with a power capacity of 10 MVA (Megavolt Ampere) since the data center’s opening in April 2007. This is ample for the data center’s current requirements. At present, 2000 out of the available 9000 m2 are ready to accommodate customer equipment. The second phase will be completed in the second quarter of 2008, resulting in a total available surface of 4000 m2 . Once all phases are complete, a total surface of 9000 m2 will be filled with customer equipment. Work to expand the power capacity is expected to be complete by 2009.
Laurens Rosenthal, Innovation Director for EvoSwitch noted, ”The expansion of our data centre requires a total power capacity that can accommodate the growth of our customer base. EvoSwitch users must also be certain that they will be able to buy the power they need for their equipment in the future as well. With 20 MVA, we can give our customers that guarantee.”
The capacity doubling means that the power supply for EvoSwitch customers is safeguarded in the future. This is especially true in view of the continually rising power consumption of many machines.
Mr. Rosenthal added, ”Fortunately we see more and more equipment on the market with reduced energy consumption. This makes us happy, because it reinforces our own power saving of 20 percent in the total EvoSwitch infrastructure. Of course, there are also market developments that increase power consumption per rack in a data center. Blade servers, for example. We need to be able to accommodate this development, now and in the future. On the other hand, virtualization will increase CPU computing power compared to power consumption proportionately.”
Increasing the power capacity requires an additional investment on EvoSwitch’s part. Among other things, EvoSwitch will buy four additional transformers with a capacity of 2.5 MVA each. Continuon will ensure that the network is able to handle EvoSwitch’s increased power capacity. To this end new cables will be laid from the power station to the data center via different routes. The power station itself will also be enlarged.
Mr. Rosenthal explained, ”Our investment illustrates our faith in the market for data center services. In view of the warm interest customers have shown in our green data center and the speed at which we have filled cabinet space in recent months, we are confident that we will actually use the doubled power capacity.”
20 MVA means that EvoSwitch has an amply calculated power supply even once the data center reaches its full customer capacity. This means that the cabinets will have higher power and cooling capacity than is the rule for many data centers. On average the cabinets will have 5 KW available, even when the data center is filled to capacity.
Mr. Rosenthal concluded, ”This is double the regular capacity in the market; therefore the use of blade servers, for example, is easily possible.”
EvoSwitch is a carrier-neutral, ”green” (CO2-neutral) data center. The site in the Amsterdam area has a surface of more than 9000 square meters , allowing companies to put their IT infrastructure in a safe location. The data center started out with a capacity of 10 MVA and has now grown to a total capacity of 20 MVA. With this power capacity, EvoSwitch can guarantee its customers that it will have ample power available at all times. EvoSwitch has 30 employees, which include engineers who manage customer equipment both actively and proactively. EvoSwitch is fully climate-neutral. Together with the Climate Neutral Group, we invest in global projects to restore the CO2 balance in the atmosphere (www.climateneutralgroup.com). Companies that put their equipment at EvoSwitch are allowed to show, on their websites, that they use a climate-neutral data centre via the logos in the partner program The Green Fan (www.thegreenfan.com).
