Director, Partner Region at Sun Microsystems of Canada
Inc. "BellZinc.ca and the Sun Cobalt appliances are an
ideal fit for the growing SMB market."

functionality that larger servers offer, Sun Cobalt
server appliances will allow them to capitalize on the
Net Effect. Sun is delighted to be the preferred
supplier of Internet servers and server appliances on
BellZinc.ca."

small- and medium-sized businesses in Canada is

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.

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.
