(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator i/o Data Centers (www.iodatacenters.com) announced on Tuesday it has completed the SAS 70 Type II audit at its Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona based data centers.
The news follows i/o Data Center's announcement last month that it has begun construction on the second phase of its flagship facility, Phoenix One.
Conducted by Deloitte & Touche, the audit confirms that i/o Data Centers' controls have been suitably designed and tested to meet the needs of its customers.
The widely recognized Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for service providers who are looking to prove a high level of control effectiveness to independent auditors.
The audit allows service organizations to disclose their control activities and processes to their customers and their customers' auditors in a reporting format.
The SAS 70 Type II audit proves that i/o Data Centers delivers reliable and secure operating environments with the proper controls for conducting high availability data center operations.
Other companies to recently complete SAS 70 Type II Audits include DataSite Orlando, New York Internet Company, REDPLAID Managed Hosting, Host.net and Switch and Data.
"We're pleased to have achieved SAS 70 Type II Certification," says Bill Slessman, chief operating officer for i/o Data Centers. "Having an independent audit affirm the reliability of our data center operations is important for our customers and gives them the peace of mind that their data center adheres to strict quality and operational standards."

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.
