May 8, 2001 -- Hardware manufacturing giant Sun Microsystems Inc. (www.sun.com) announced on Tuesday that it had introduced the new Sun StorEdge N8400 and N8600 filers, expanding its presence in the Network Attached Storage market.
According to Sun, the StorEdge N8000 filer series delivers the industry?s most scalable family of NAS appliances, growing from 200 gigabytes to over 10 terabytes of usable capacity in a standalone configuration.
The company says that Sun customers can now add NAS storage to their network configuration. And those interested in a single-vendor configuration can add the storage technology to their end-to-end Sun system.
Sun also announced that the Sun StorEdge N8400 and N8600 filers have successfully completed the Oracle Storage Compatability Program NAS test suite for Oracle database environments. The qualification, already awarded to the Sun StorEdge N8200 filer in February, certifies that the entire filer series has been qualified for seamless integration into data centers using Oracle databases.
Sun says it is continuing to execute its open storage networks strategy. The company points out that earlier this year it released customer-ready SAN solutions that are easy to deploy and use in all major operating environments. Now Sun is extending its NAS line to over 10 TBs, while delivering an open solution that operates with Solaris, UNIX and Windows NT.

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.
