August 28, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Network appliance developer Infoblox (infoblox.com) announced on Monday that it has acquired Ipanto (ipanto.com), a privately held company based in France that develops enterprise software for highly efficient IP address management, especially in Microsoft environments.
This acquisition underscores Infoblox's strategy to deliver a portfolio of solutions designed to help enterprises effectively deliver and manage utility-grade core network services, such as domain name resolution, IP address assignment and management, authentication and authorization, configuration and network time. The acquisition also enables Infoblox to bring immediate value to enterprise customers currently relying on Microsoft systems, like Microsoft active directory servers or domain controllers for their DNS and DHCP services, says the company.
"The Ipanto team has created a great product and has garnered an impressive list of global customers," says Robert Thomas, CEO of Infoblox. "Adding their innovative technology to the Infoblox portfolio provides enterprise customers with an option that lets them realize greater IPAM efficiency while preserving current investments in Microsoft core network services infrastructure. This also provides a logical stepping stone towards a next-generation, fully integrated Infoblox infrastructure."
Infoblox recently began offering a new appliance, the Infoblox-250, designed for branch/remote office sites.

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.
