The Planet Revamps Portfolio with New Value-Based Servers

Hosting News

The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting, today added two new value-priced servers to its product portfolio that include the latest in Intel processing horsepower. Featuring the new Intel Pentium G6950 processor, these powerful servers are now the entry point for the company’s Dell server fleet.

As an additional value, all new server purchases from The Planet receive free-of-charge the choice of a cPanel or Parallels Plesk control panel, free Symantec antivirus software and 10GB of free cloud storage.

“There’s an ever-present requirement to provide customers with the fastest processing power at affordable price points,” said Todd Mitchell, The Planet’s General Manager for Dedicated Hosting and Global Services. “Companies considering hosting, or even those who have already recognized the value of replacing their do-it-yourself IT infrastructures, investigate the best value for their business. With these new servers and free bundles, The Planet is staking its claim as the hosting industry’s value leader.”

Both new servers – the G6950 SATA and the G6950 SATA Plus – come equipped with the Intel Pentium G6950, featuring a dual-core 2.8 GHz, 32nm processor for more computing power in a small package. Both are showcased in a Dell PowerEdge R210 chassis, which provides the smallest power footprint in the 11th generation PowerEdge portfolio.

With the Pentium G6950 SATA, customers can take advantage of 2GB of RAM, a 250GB SATA hard drive and 2TB of bandwidth for $99 per month. The G6950 SATA Plus model – priced at $125 per month – provides twice the RAM and hard drive space.

Cloud

Cloud.bg, a fully featured Cloud Hosting service ( http://www.cloud.bg ) has been launched in Bulgaria, one of the newest members of the European Union, country with rapidly growing IT hosting industry. The service which is available through the local Bulgarian web site www.cloud.bg is a standards based cloud, delivered from a fully redundant and scalable clustered architecture built on Red Hat Cluster Suite ( http://www.redhat.com/cluster_suite/ ) and on Fuscan LBC ( http://www.fuscan.com), a Cloud Hosting Automation platform of the U.S. software producer SingleOS. The Fuscan LBC, the platform used by Cloud.bg to automate the web hosting cloud debuted last year as Silver sponsor of HostingCon 2009, the largest conference and expo in the hosting industry.

The new Bulgarian Cloud hosts its infrastructure in the local facility of Interoute (Interoute.com), a UK data center solutions provider, which operates 59 data centers and fiber optic network of twelve rings connecting 93 cities in 26 countries.

Fully redundant, scalable Cloud hosting that runs cPanel/WHM

Cloud.bg operates its own fully redundant network which uses Internet connectivity providers such as Interoute, Cogent plus few other international and local providers of premium bandwidth. The cloud hosting service of the company features 100 GB of space in a storage area network, 1,000 GB data transfer per month and allows site owners to host up to 100 personal and small-business websites. However the main advantage of the Cloud.bg is that it is a cPanel Cloud Hosting service and brings cPanel / WHM the most popular web hosting control panel and web hosting manager on the cloud.

“I think that we are probably the first hosting provider in Europe to use cPanel/WHM to deliver web hosting services from the cloud. Thanks to Fuscan LBC, a unique Cloud platform of SingleOS we have managed to automate our clustered server infrastructure we have built in 2009 and to launch fully featured cPanel based on cloud hosting service”, said Dimitar Avramov, the CEO of the Cloud.bg. He added that his development team appreciates a lot the support of cPanel Inc. (cpanel.net). “They have been very helpful and co-operative in the process of integrating cPanel/WHM control panel on the cloud”, adds Mr. Avramov.

Cloud Hosting that works good for all European users

Although the hosting service of Cloud.bg is aimed to serve mostly the local Bulgarian market, the company has tested the connectivity of its infrastructure from different point in Europe and shared the results.

The average round-trip delay (RTT) time for European home users who ping Cloud.bg ranges from 10 ms to 60 ms.
