July 23, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Microsoft (microsoft.com) announced at HostingCon 2007 (hostingcon.com/2007) Monday its comprehensive strategy for enabling hosting providers to be successful in the world of software plus services. The strategy includes providing the next-generation hosting platform, delivering applications ready for hosting and driving growth through tight integration with Microsoft’s extensive partner ecosystem.
At HostingCon, Microsoft will demonstrate recent additions and updates to its core platform technologies and applications for the hosting industry that enable service providers to offer an effective end-user experience for their customers. The company will showcase its new development tools and applications to hosting providers for the first time, highlight the initial successes of its Internet Information Services 7.0 Go Live license program for Microsoft IIS7 beta and announce that cPanel has introduced a Windows version of its control panel.
These enhancements help position Web hosts to play an important role in the software plus services ecosystem by partnering with Microsoft, says the company.
“The hosting providers that will succeed are those that understand the software plus services opportunity and recognize how to leverage their expertise to offer compelling new services to customers,” says John Zanni, managing director of Worldwide Hosting in the Communications Sector at Microsoft. “Our goal at Microsoft is to provide the technology, both our own and through our vast partner network, that will enable hosting providers to continue to successfully deliver a broad range of services.”
Microsoft anounced earlier this month it held its fifth annual Worldwide Partner Conference in Denver, Colorado.
