(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- National data center provider CRG West has relaunched with a new brand and legal corporate identity, "CoreSite - A Carlyle Company," (www.coresite.com) reflecting a new customer focus, designed to deliver the security, reliability and communications opportunities that enterprises need to compete in the global marketplace.
Founded in 2001, with facilities in Los Angeles and San Jose, CRG West's wholesale data center space has grown to more than two million square feet with the addition of colocation facilities in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Northern Virginia, the San Francisco Bay Area and Washington DC.
The rebrand coincides with the successful completion of CoreSite's migration of its administration to its new headquarters in Denver, Colorado, and the overhaul of company processes designed to make business easier for its customers.
"We've more clearly articulated our vision and our culture and we're well along our way to accomplishing our goals," CoreSite president and chief executive officer Thomas M. Ray said. "It brings me great pleasure to use the many accomplishments of CRG West, in conjunction with recent additions to our support systems, to create what we believe is an offering unmatched in the data center industry."
Further strengthening its partnership with its customers, CoreSite has launched a new customer portal, as well as additional support systems such as an account management tool called MyCoreSite, and enhanced employee resources. CoreSite has also committed itself to sustainability in its future data center designs and operations, which will emphasize energy efficiency, reliability and practicality.
CoreSite said that along with the new processes, there has also been a large investment in its workforce, with the addition of skilled personnel such as data centers vice president Billie Haggard, who will be overseeing the management of the facilities.

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.
