(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT compliance and security solutions provider Alert Logic (www.alertlogic.com) announced on Tuesday that it has named Gray Hall to the company's board of directors.
According to Alert Logic's press release, Hall will "provide counsel and guidance to Alert Logic's leadership team."
Most recently, Hall served as founder and CEO of managed hosting and colocation provider VeriCenter, which was acquired in July 2007 by Sungard.
Hall has significant experience in the technology industry, including several years with IBM, where he led the formation of the IBM Center for Scalable Computing Solutions.
Funded jointly by IBM and DARPA, the project was an early prototype of application hosting services and the application service provider model.
He also served as program manager at the US Department of Energy, where he led the formation of the DOE Distributed Computing Center, another early intiative for application hosting and delivery over the Internet.
"We are very excited to have Gray join Alert Logic's board of directors," says Michael Turner, president and CEO of Alert Logic. "He is an experienced and highly respected leader in the technology industry and we look forward to his guidance as we build on our past success and continue to grow our business."
Alert Logic provides cloud-based IT compliance and security solutions, helping its customers detect threats, eliminate vulnerabilities, and manage log data.

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.

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.
