Sunnyvale, California - (The Hosting News) - December 5, 2005 - Web hosting automation and software company, Ensim Corporation, has released Ensim Pro for Linux 4.1. This latest release of Ensim's control panel delivers new features that further increase flexibility and cost savings for web hosting service providers.

According to Kevin Farrell, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Product Management at Ensim, ''Ensim Pro for Linux 4.1 shows our continued commitment towards delivering the industry's most advanced control panel solution. It enables hosters to easily support the latest and most popular applications as well as operating systems while improving their operational efficiency. Our engineers and developers have not only answered customer requests by delivering such advanced features as OS separation, but made migration from previous versions of our control panel very straight forward through in-box migration.''

Jon Limbird, COO at Affinity.com commented on the new product release, ''Having worked with Ensim and their Ensim Pro for Linux product line for the past two years, we are thrilled to see that Ensim has enabled these new features. We pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional user experience, and this latest release from Ensim helps us deliver on that commitment.''

Highlights of Ensim Pro 4.1 for Linux include:

• OS Separation - Ensim has achieved an important milestone by de-coupling Ensim Pro from the operating system it is installed on. This allows service providers to easily upgrade their operating system or pieces of it with increased flexibility.

• Scheduled Service Restarts - The Ensim control panel now allows service providers to configure and schedule services that need to be restarted.

• Ease of Upgrade - Existing users can now seamlessly upgrade their current systems to Ensim Pro for Linux 4.1 in the box - without backing-up to an external server.

• Power Tools Open API - The Power Tools Open API enables hosters to differentiate their offering by easily integrating third-party applications.

• Enhanced Automation and Management Tools - New features enable hosters to automate management tasks and reduce operational costs.

• Support for Miva Merchant 4 and 5 - This enables hosters to provide feature-rich e-commerce offerings and instantly provision and manage online e-commerce stores.

• Updated Ensim Power Tool - Gallery 2.0.1 is now available for fresh installation or as an upgrade from Gallery 1.5.
