enhanced features for Windows shared hosting, Microsoft SaaS offerings, and an
increase in development for the virtualization market. Take a minute or two and

Our Dedication To You In 2009
The control panel industry witnessed several
major acquisitions in 2008. This year marked an impressive year for acquisition
of our competitors by major players in the industry. Companies like WebHost
Automation, H-Sphere, Sphera, and ModernGigabyte’s ModernBill, were all
acquired by industry giant Parallels.
While our competitors are getting acquired, DotNetPanel is committed and
dedicated to staying with you to help you achieve your goals well into 2009 and
beyond. Experience the difference in Windows hosting control panel software.
Experience DotNetPanel.

Virtualization And Your Business In 2009
Virtualization
has been gaining popularity with prominent hosting companies. DotNetPanel is
the only Hyper-V hosting control panel that provides your business with the
advantage of creating, managing, and selling VPS solutions to your customers.
And did you know virtualization saves the environment? You too can add your
business to the list of “Green IT” companies by setting up your environment for
virtualization.
Top Five Benefits to Server Virtualization:
(Excerpted from http://www.itworld.com/nls_windowsserver050411).
|
1
|
Lower number of physical servers -
you can reduce hardware maintenance costs because of a lower number of
physical servers.
|
|
2
|
By implementing a server
consolidation strategy, you can increase the space utilization efficiency in
your data center.
|
|
3
|
By having each application within
its own "virtual server" you can prevent one application from
impacting another application when upgrades or changes are made.
|
|
4
|
You can develop a standard virtual
server build that can be easily duplicated which will speed up server
deployment.
|
|
5
|
You can deploy multiple operating
system technologies on a single hardware platform (i.e. Windows Server 2003,
Linux, Windows 2000, etc).
