(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Cobalt Computers (www.cobaltcomputers.com), a division of data solutions and laboratory research equipment provider Coulbourn (www.coulbourn.com), has partnered with Sonasoft (www.sonasoft.com) to provide its integrated archiving, replication, and backup software to Cobalt's customers numbering around 20,000.
(Not to be mistaken for Cobalt Networks, a maker of low-cost Linux-based servers that Sun Microsystems bought in 2000 and discontinued in 2003,) Cobalt's new Complete Communication Compliance or C3 series of appliances offer enterprise-class Exchange email archiving to small and medium-sized businesses, lowering their total cost of ownership for archiving solutions.
"The market is waiting for a state of the art archiving appliance solution that will effectively help index, preserve, and simplify day to day employee and email records and access management, achieve regulatory and eDiscovery compliance, and meet business continuity needs of organizations of all sizes at an affordable price," Cobalt Computers president Paul Mazzucco said in a statement. "We tested over 15 different software and hardware compliance packages currently available in the market and found only one that met our level of quality and technical demands."
According to its announcement, C3 helps businesses of all sizes safeguard against future litigation risks. It will effectively scale and optimize the exchange server storage infrastructure, and improve simple day to day employee email records and access management.
Sonasoft president and chief executive officer Andy Khanna said Sonasoft is delighted to partner with Cobalt Computer. "[T]his will benefit everyone in the value chain -- channel partners, distributors and resellers," Khanna said in a statement. "An email archiving appliance built on a robust server will open up tremendous opportunity for channel partners and will offer an affordable, plug and play solution for the end-user. We're confident that this partnership will be mutually beneficial to both the companies and to our customers."

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.
