August 2, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator Digital Realty Trust (digitalrealtytrust.com) announced on Thursday that BT has signed a lease agreement to establish a new data center in one of Digital Realty Trust's US turn-key data center facilities.
"Our turn-key data centers are designed to meet our customers' immediate and future computing requirements," says Chris Crosby, senior VP of Digital Realty Trust. "As a long-term owner and operator, we are pleased to welcome BT to our facility and we look forward to working with them to support their ongoing mission critical computing infrastructure."
Digital Realty Trust's turn-key data centers are move-in ready, physically secure facilities with the power and cooling capabilities to support critical enterprise applications. The company offers scalability from one hundred square feet to over one hundred thousand square feet in state-of-the-art facilities with true carrier and managed service provider neutrality and metered power.
The company also announced this week it has completed a lease agreement with data center operator Net2EZ (net2ez.com) for space in Digital Realty Trust's 600 West 7th Street facility in downtown Los Angeles, California. The agreement will provide Net2EZ with 15,000 square feet of raised floor turn-key data center space in suite 550 of the building as well as office space in suite 560.
Digital Realty Trust announced last month that European data center services provider IXEurope signed a new lease for approximately 26,000 square feet of Powered Base Building space in its Paris, France facility.

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.
