(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Yet another data center for low-latency trading is being built in New Jersey, this time by the world's largest and most liquid exchange group, NYSE Euronext (www.nyse.com), which expects to complete its 400,000 square foot data center in 2010.
Expected to be a cornerstone of the NYSE's major planned data center overhaul, according to a Wall Street Journal report, the new data center in Mahwah, New Jersey will offer low-latency colocation space for trading operations. NYSE, which maintains facilities in New York and Paris, is also building another in the London area.
NYSE Euronext co-chief information officer Steve Rubinow told the Wall Street Journal that the new facility will offer the latest in data center design and technology. "We are approaching our new data center design with fresh thinking and innovative ways to maximize space and cost to deliver the lowest latency and best performance to our customers," Rubinow said, noting that the Mahwah facility will provide "the most obsessive traders" an advantage.
In support of the proximity hosting needed for financial market applications, companies such as Savvis and Equinix have completed expansions of their north Jersey colocation facilities this summer. Most recently, web hosting provider New York Internet Company (www.nyi.net), which specializes in the financial services industry, unveiled plans to build a 40,000 square foot data center in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

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.
