(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- India-based global IT services provider HCL Technologies (www.hclisd.com) announced on Tuesday it has unveiled a new suite of next-generation data center services.
The new suit consists of managed storage service, managed back service, offsite-vaulting services, virtualization as a service, cloud services for testing and development environment, disaster recovery and mainframe management services.
These services are based on the ITIL Service Catalog, which is used as a starting point for the implementation of the service level management process. They provide enterprises the option of device-based utility pricing.
The NextGen DC Services will be delivered from HCL's 35,000-square-foot, Tier III green data center data center in New Jersey, which it recently acquired from an undisclosed Fortune 500 organization.
The data center will also provide hosting and colocation services to HCL's prospective and existing infrastructure outsourcing customers.
For these customers, HCL will managed and monitor their IT assets along with ancillary services including "intelligent hands and feet," facilities reporting and asset management, says the company.
"Our new suite of services provide enterprises with hybrid and right-shore delivery models to bring scalability and flexibility in their computing environment," says R. Srikrishna, executive vice president and worldwide head of sales at HCL Technologies' infrastructure services division. "Coupled with our globally acknowledged IT operations management services these value-added offerings promise transformational, non-linear management of enterprise data center assets at significantly reduced costs."
Srikrishna says the services are designed to facilitate longer term opportunities for a series of cloud-based services which have been impacting the data center space, says Srikrishna.
HCL will be hosting a session on the data center transformation capabilities on December 2 at the Gartner Data Center Conference in Las Vegas.

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.
