August 13, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Extreme Networks (extremenetworks.com) announced on Wednesday it has joined The Green Grid (thegreengrid.org), a non-profit organization that promotes the adoption of energy efficient standards, processes, measurements and technologies within data centers.
The Green Grid is a global organization that strives to advance energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems.
The organization collaborates with other industry groups and government organizations around the world to ensure that each organizational goal is aligned with both developers and users of data center technology.
Telecommunications provider AT&T recently announced that its affiliate, AT&T Services, joined The Green Grid.
"CIO's overseeing data centers are demanding cost-efficient network solutions where a significant portion of their operational costs can be reduced through energy savings," says Paul Hooper, chief marketing officer for Extreme Networks. "Joining The Green Grid is another example of Extreme Networks ongoing commitment to improving power efficiency with systems, software tools and network designs that reduce energy consumption throughout the network."
Extreme Networks will work with The Green Grid to help develop and deliver energy efficient technologies and best practices for its customers, focusing specifically on the implementation of green technologies in Ethernet switching solutions targeted at data centers.
Earlier this year, Extreme Networks' BlackDiamond 8800 switch was independently evaluated by The Tolly Group to be one of the most efficient modular Ethernet switches in the industry.
Extreme Networks designs, builds, and installs Ethernet infrastructure solutions that help solve the toughest business communications challenges.
The company's focus is on enterprises and service providers who demand high performance, converged networks that support voice, video and data over a wired and wireless infrastructure.

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.
