Fast Serv Leverages R1Soft CDP to Add Value and Maximize Resources

2011-02-24T16:33:00-05:00

(Gawkwire.com) – Managed hosting provider Fast Serv Networks today revealed details regarding its implementation of R1Soft Continuous Data Protection® (CDP) as the software behind its managed backup solutions. R1Soft CDP backups are included with Fast Serv’s cPanel Web hosting plans and offered as an add-on to its virtual and dedicated server offerings.

The cross-platform CDP product brings significant efficiencies - both in implementation and systems administration – to Fast Serv. Using CDP, Fast Serv can manage backups for Windows or Linux servers from a centralized interface, with data backups stored in a disk-based data repository. Further, CDP’s low-impact asynchronous data backups extend cross-platform for full protection of MySQL databases.

“R1Soft CDP fits our needs perfectly” explained Randy McAnally, CEO of Fast Serv. “CDP has an unmatched price-to-features ratio, allowing us to provide an effective and reliable backup solution to our customers at an affordable price.”

Fast Serv also finds great benefit in CDP’s disaster recovery features. In the unfortunate event that client data is damaged or erased, Fast Serv can completely restore the client’s file system with a few clicks of the mouse using CDP’s Bare-Metal Restore feature.

“With the addition of R1Soft Continuous Data Protection, Fast Serv gains more than just a full-featured data backup and disaster recovery solution” said David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies. “With CDP, Fast Serv can increase both sales and ROI even as customer satisfaction improves. Everyone wins.”

R1Soft to Demo Cloud Backup Software at Parallels Summit 2011

2011-02-22T00:28:00-05:00

(Gawkwire.com) - On location in Orlando, Florida for the 2011 Parallels Summit, R1Soft, developer of backup and disaster recovery software for Windows and Linux servers in the Cloud, will exhibit for the first time its Continuous Data Protection (CDP) 3.0 Enterprise Edition. The company announced the availability of the product’s first release just last week.

This will be R1Soft’s third consecutive appearance at the Parallels Summit, one of the leading events for the Cloud hosting industry.

“We look forward to Parallels every year” said David Wartell, vice president of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies. “This year, the Summit also follows closely on the heels of our CDP 3.0 Enterprise Edition release. Given the performance enhancements that CDP 3.0 can bring to Cloud backup, we are particularly excited to be able to engage with so many hosting and Cloud infrastructure providers.”

CDP 3.0’s improvements to Cloud backup comes in the form of shortened backup windows, which significantly reduce the impact data backup and archiving has on storage performance. Data growth, another frequent pain point, is also alleviated with R1Soft Continuous Data Protection; capable of storing up to 64 Terabytes of data, CDP 3.0 can scale along with Cloud storage needs.

Exhibiting from booth #140, the R1Soft team will be on hand to offer live product demos, answer questions, and give details on the company’s Partner Program, a special initiative aimed at revenue and profit generation for partnering companies. Booth visitors can enter to win a NOOK Color, to be given away on-site. Fans of the company can also hope to score one of the always-popular R1Soft T-shirts or Agent R1 penguins.

2010-07-08T14:56:00-04:00

(Gawkwire.com) - Premiere web hosting provider HostNexus (www.hostnexus.com) announced on July 1st that it is launching the popular cPanel control panel for both its Shared Hosting and Reseller Hosting packages. This is a first for the company that has already set industry standards for affordably priced hosting solutions.

By providing the ease of use that cPanel offers to its reseller and shared hosting customers, HostNexus will be leveraging its ability to provide consistent, quality service and making the services even easier to use than ever before. Since cPanel is a widely used and very popular way for web masters to install software packages such as WordPress or Drupal, many users have lauded these steps to increase the value of the company's service in providing even better customer care. The added value Shared Hosting offerings comes from the fact that all of the users on a given server will be able to operate their sites more quickly and easily through the use of cPanels automated features and state of the art Graphical User Interface (GUI). For the Reseller Hosting packages, cPanel will be creating a new and intensive level of value that resellers will be able to use to draw in more customers and thus bring themselves even more income.

Offering hosting packages for practically every niche on the web today has become a core feature of the HostNexus business model, but affordability has been a major focus since the company's inception, as well. With Reseller Hosting priced at just $24.95 per month to start and Shared Hosting accounts at $5.40 per month for Windows users and only $3.95 per month for Linux users, the company offers a variety of services at prices the rest of their industry is rarely able to compete with.

One Click Installation, multiple IPs and support for PHP, MySQL and plenty of APIs all add to the value of the HostNexus brand. By combining such affordable solutions, profitable opportunities for online entrepreneurs and a variety of solutions across the full range of web hosting options available today, HostNexus is quickly asserting its dominance across the web by providing precisely what its customers ask for.

"Over the years HostNexus has become one of the largest and well known Plesk brands in the industry but we still get many requests for cPanel and that can no longer be ignored," states HostNexus CEO, Laurence Flynn. "We offer cPanel on our VPS platform and on our Managed Dedicated Server line but this is the first time we are rolling out cPanel on standard hosting on the HostNexus brand and that is very exciting for us here at HN".

Now well into its 9th year in business and serving more than 3,000 customers across 120 servers, HostNexus is fast becoming the web master's choice for power, flexibility and customer service in the hosting industry.

HostNexus offers linux and windows shared and reseller hosting on Dual Quad Core servers with RAID 10 arrays, remote data backups to protect customer's sites and 24-hour tech support. HostNexus is also well known for its Coldfusion Hosting on both windows and linux platforms, managed VPS and managed Dedicated server solutions.
