(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Managed hosting provider Peak 10 (www.peak10.com) announced on Thursday that it has launched its new VirtualDR service, providing a virtualized disaster recovery solution involving multiple data centers.
According to the press release, the new product takes a “software-based approach to replication” delivering full, differential or hybrid backups of either colocated servers or virtual machines, onto dissimilar hardware in geographically separate facilities.
One of the keys to the VirtualDR service, says Peak 10, is its reduction of some of the complexity and up-front cost associated with more traditional high-availability and disaster recovery solutions.
“VirtualDR is another example of how Peak 10 continues to develop its robust IT solutions by leveraging the latest technologies available to meet the need for more cost-effective disaster recovery solutions,” says Monty Blight, vice president of managed services for Peak 10, quoted in the announcement. “With the increased scrutiny on capital expenditures and executives increasing their focus on the bottom line, companies seeking to enhance their business continuity practices can now do more with less costs using Peak 10’s VirtualDR.”
More information about the VirtualDR service is available on the product’s information page at the Peak 10 website.
Peak 10 says its virtualization team is comprised of experts who stay abreast of advancing virtualization technology, and look for ways to build it into the company’s products.
In late March, the company announced that it had opened a new 15,400 square-foot data center in Tampa, Florida, bringing the company’s total footprint in the city to more than 30,000 square feet.

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.
