July 18, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center automation software provider Solidcore Systems (solidcore.com) announced on Tuesday it will integrate its S3 Control product with the Opsware System 6 (opsware.com) solutions suite through Opsware's Technology Alliance Program.
Opsware has the option to resell the Solidcore offering with the Opsware System 6 solutions suite through its worldwide field sales and channel teams based on select customer needs. The combined offering will enable customers to enforce only changes from Opsware, providing lock-down for select systems that support mission-critical applications that require extreme change control policies.
The combined Opsware and Solidcore solution will track all change to servers in real-time, capture and document critical change detail in real time, identify changes that make a system non-compliant and enable enforcement of change process policy. The joint offering will be the only solution that completely controls all change to the server infrastructure, and enables IT organizations to eliminate change-related business risks and costs by allowing only authorized changes to take place. Meanwhile, the offering ensures all change activity is captured, documented and correlated against appropriate authorization.
"We are excited to be partnering with Solidcore to provide our joint customers with a comprehensive solution for delivering, tracking and controlling change throughout the IT infrastructure," says Sharmila Shahani, EVP of marketing at Opsware. "Working with Solidcore will provide today's IT organizations with a centralized means to ensure only appropriate, approved changes are provisioned to the infrastructure, as expected."

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.
