(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Carpathia Hosting (www.carpathiahosting.com) announced on Tuesday it will begin offering managed cloud solutions in its Phoenix data center.
The addition of the managed cloud solutions adds to the range of services that the company already delivers in the data center, including colocation, bandwidth and managed services.
In the Phoenix facility, Carpathia Hosting will offer the first managed cloud designed for enterprises, which is already available in Carpathia's Blue Ridge data center in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Carpathia Hosting first launched its "hybrid" cloud model, entitled AlwaysOn/InstantOn fully-managed enterprise cloud solution in June.
The solution offers a more consultative approach to managed hosting by letting customers seamlessly change their colocated or dedicated infrastructure with instantly available, shared-infrastructure.
The hybrid approach of pairing Carpathia's cloud platform with colocation and managed services lets customers take advantage of the best attributes of each, without separating those technology solutions as many other cloud providers do.
"Enterprise customers in the Phoenix data center can now benefit from Carpathia's cloud-based services without having to abandon their dedicated infrastructure," says Philip Hedlund, general manager of Carpathia Hosting's Phoenix data center. "Our approach allows them to have both, thus ensuring they don’t have to worry about weakening security orlowering availability."
Carpathia's cloud platform is used to deliver a number of data center optimizations services, including cloud bursting, elastic computing and disaster recovery solutions.
The Phoenix cloud deployment lets customers deliver these and other services with geographic diversity so customers can use Carpathia Hosting's northern Virginia facilities as their primary data center, while using Phoenix as a disaster recovery location, or vice-versa.

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.
