June 23, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider NaviSite (navisite.com) announced on Monday that hotel chain Hyatt Hotels & Resorts (hyatt.com) has chosen NaviSite to provide enterprise-level managed messaging and collaborative infrastructure services for Lotus Domino. According to the press release, Hyatt says it chose NaviSite for its "expertise in handling the managed messaging and collaboration needs for enterprise organizations" and its "ability to provide managed infrastructure services and application management for other systems."
NaviSite will be upgrading and reorganizing all of Hyatt's messaging systems for GroupWise and Lotus Domino, which includes designing and implementing a solution that centralizes and unifies the email messaging platform providing high availability, backups, data retention, instant messaging, self service and global address books.
The web host will provide Hyatt with the global management of iNotes, Lotus Notes and Lotus Sametime, as well as a fully managed Lotus Domino solution supported by messaging technicians across multiple high availability data centers with around the clock functional and technical support. "We are excited about the opportunity to help Hyatt enhance their global collaboration through a centralized managed messaging platform," says Mark Clayman, senior VP of hosting services at NaviSite. "As one of the leading hotel chains in the world, it's important that Hyatt's stakeholders are empowered with a flexible, secure and scalable messaging platform that meets their changing and immediate needs." The company offers more than 100 enterprises relying on its managed messaging solutions, along with complete managed messaging services for both Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino.
NaviSite says it also provides installation, configuration and around the clock monitoring of the messaging solution, including hardware, operating system and application software in a fully hosted environment.
Earlier this month, NaviSite signed North Plains and MIO.TV as new customers to the Sun Solaris On Demand Program, enabling the independent software venders to move their applications to a software-as-a-service platform built on Sun Solaris technology.

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.

I wonder if Hyatt realise, how incompetant NaviSite is, surely they did their homework and noted the failed NaviSite network migration from Alabanza? NaviSite have destroyed thousands of web hosting companies livelyhoods and businesses.. I wonder how badly they wil screw Hyatt?
