iWeb's new “Smart Servers” are automatically deployed to users' specifications in less than two hours.
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — In a major milestone in the company’s transition to automated on-demand server hosting services, Canadian Web host iWeb (www.iweb.com) has introduced “Smart Servers”, a new line of servers that can be deployed in less than two hours.
According to iWeb’s announcement, its Smart Servers offer a permanent remote console (KVM/IP), Gigabit-speed local network connectivity, and trouble-free migrations.
Along with iWeb’s existing line of dedicated hosting products, Smart Servers are built to suit Web applications with both flexibility and power. The servers are available starting at an introductory price of $99 per month with 10 different hardware configurations, the choice of CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu as the operating system and the option to install the cPanel hosting control panel. For a limited time, Smart Servers packages will include a 10TB traffic allocation.
“Smart Server redefines dedicated hosting by eliminating the pains associated with managing and using a dedicated server,” iWeb products and technology president Martin Leclair stated. “The customers buying a Smart Server today will not only get the current set of features, but will benefit from the constant evolution of the platform.”
The Smart Server launch is the result of two years of intensive development efforts, including the construction of the company’s fourth data center, which was built from the ground up with automation in mind. This new datacenter features an innovative server automation platform called Smart Layer which was designed to for the instant provisioning and interconnection of as many as 20,000 Smart Servers.
“Today’s product launch is less about the Smart Server itself and more about bringing a new infrastructure online that will be the base of iWeb’s next phase of growth.” iWeb chief technology officer Cyrille Mertes said in a statement. “It is the result of many months of hard work from our teams and marks the beginning of an important product transformation for iWeb and its customers. Our goal is to have our complete line of dedicated server products and options available under the new platform as Smart Servers in the next several months.”
