Today's video is our 4th in our 5 part series examining the partnership between Softlayer and Citrix.
Speaking again with Softlayer CTO Nathan Day and Citrix CTO Simon Crosby, WHIR tv really gets in to the meat and potatoes behind the technological aspect of the partnership and what it all means. Be warned, this tech chat between the two CTO's is not for the technological faint of heart. Crosby acts as the interviewer while Day plays the interviewee. They get into hosted exchange, Zen Server, and what's really under the hood in terms of the virtual machines. I could try to break it down but to be honest, there is no way I could even begin to try and sound as smart as these two do when it comes to this stuff so I'll leave it up to them. Check out the video and listen to the two pro's in an intense tech chat about Citrix and Softlayer infrastructure.

In this particular case, however, we're looking at it through an extremely significant contextual lens. That is, for much of the last two years, hosting providers have been operating in a business climate defined by an economy in crisis. About This Issue | Read Digital Edition
March 2010 - Web Hosting in Europe
Europe cuts an interesting figure in our coverage of the web hosting industry. From a purely news standpoint, it is very possible to treat Europe in more or less the same way that we treat North America - that is, report the facts, ask the right questions, try to anticipate the issues raised. From an analytical standpoint, however, we present a distinctly North American point of view - this being the product of circumstances (our location), rather than a bias.

January 2010 - Hottest Hosts Directory
In 2008, in our inaugural Hottest Hosts guide, I wrote that we were exploring a new format with the first in-print directory of web hosting services. And last year, I discussed the project in the context of an ongoing project, and a growing tradition here at the Web Host Industry Review. The objective, however, is not to repeat ourselves, but to help the directory evolve into a more valuable resource - something that's going to help you with your purchasing decisions, and something you're going to hold on to for the duration of the year.
