March 25, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IBM (ibm.com/software) today unveiled a new implementation of its suite of Web services. The new WebSphere, Tivoli, DB2, Lotus enables businesses to create, publish, securely deploy, host and manage Web services applications.
Ensuring the availability and performance of Web services technology through detailed analytics and QoS measurement, Tivoli Web Services Manager 1.7 manages and Secures the Web Services Infrastructure. The tool allows users to execute synthetic transactions to ensure availability of critical Web services systems, combining the functionality of two winning products, Tivoli Web Services Manager and Tivoli Application Performance Management.
Enhanced to simplify the process of building scalable, standards-based security architecture in an enterprise Web services environment, Tivoli Policy Director provides the broadest interoperability with WebSphere infrastructure software in access management. It also enables customers to leverage a common security model across WebSphere and non-WebSphere resources.
The interoperability is transparent to J2EE applications because no coding or deployment changes are needed at the application level. The software includes common security management, Web single sign-on, and enforcement of user access rights, privileges, and entitlements across the dynamic e-business infrastructure.
Databases and data management systems are key components in IBM's Web services strategy. Web services enable the integration of real-time data into applications, and IBM's DB2 database software, which also supports J2EE, the leading provider of enterprise information integration options. DB2 provides a full range of Web services capabilities within its data management portfolio.
IBM's XML-based technologies will be showcased later this month with an Xperanto technology preview demonstrating the new XML query language XQuery, in combination with DB2 federation capabilities to integrate DB2 and non-DB2 data Web services and text search to address integration challenges in a real customer scenario.
IBM Lotus software fully supports Web services standards and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and enables Web Collaboration and Knowledge Management for Web Services. It also provides developers with the ability to integrate Lotus messaging and collaboration functionality into Web services applications.
Lotus recently announced a strategy to modularize products so they can be integrated with business applications using Web services and to embrace J2EE as the foundation for the componentization. Providing developers with flexible options for developing collaboration and knowledge-based applications suitable for all environments, this combination, in addition to Lotus Notes/Domino, supports J2EE and Web services 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.
