CiRBA Releases Data Center Solution
April 11, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT service provider CiRBA (cirba.com) announced on Tuesday it has released version 3.0 of its Data Center Intelligence solution. The product is available immediately, with pricing based on CPU numbers or equivalents and is licensed on a monthly basis.
CiRBA 3.0 adds new capabilities as well as usability, administration and architectural enhancements that greatly improve an IT organization's ability to manage heterogeneous data centers.
Now enterprises can better understand their technology inventory, how it is configured at a deep level, automate both internal and external compliance reporting, verify and validate planned changes, and more effectively allocate IT resources such as hardware and software.
"CiRBA's unique approach of providing IT management with information about heterogeneous data centers to a deep and detailed level is striking a chord with IT decision makers," says Gerry Smith, president and CEO of CiRBA. "They realize that this detailed information enables powerful analysis of the dynamics of their environments, its impact on compliance, and even asset optimization such as server consolidation. Release 3.0 advances our architecture to address the needs of those managing large-scale heterogeneous IT environments."

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
