News: Colocation, VoIP Firm, Level 3, Debuts Content Delivery for Extended Libraries
Broomfileld, Colorado - (The Hosting News) - April 18, 2008 - Colocation, VoIP, and Internet backbone company, Level 3 Communications' Content Markets Group, has upgraded and expanded its suite of content delivery services to include a new service.
Content Delivery for Extended Libraries (CDXL) was created in response to demand from existing and potential customers with large libraries of digital assets for an economic solution to enable them to monetize their entire libraries of audio and video content - regardless of each asset's popularity.
Gerry Kaufhold, principal analyst with In-Stat noted, ''Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are transforming how people gain access to rich media, and the network has to be about more than moving lots of bits quickly. Level 3's Content Delivery for Extended Libraries brings a new level of network performance, storage capacity and economic efficiency to the CDN market.''
Leveraging its robust Content Delivery Network and its highly scalable origin storage solution, Level 3 has introduced proprietary intelligence into its infrastructure which enables content to be delivered dynamically on the optimal path to end users. Level 3's patent-pending solution will enable customers like content owners/aggregators, sports leagues, broadcasters and user generated content sites to monetize a larger portion of their assets, including their long-tail, or less frequently requested, video and audio content by storing and delivering their entire library economically and efficiently. The dynamic intelligence built into Level 3's CDXL solution automatically positions customer content on the Level 3 infrastructure based on popularity and removes the need for customer guesswork about which assets will be popular in certain regions at any given time.
Dave Mansueto, Co-founder of Liberated Syndication remarked, ''Libsyn provides a do-it-yourself publishing platform for podcasters and new media producers and makes thousands of podcasts available to the public. Using Level 3's CDN services, Libsyn has significantly improved its online delivery of high-quality audio and video podcasts to millions of loyal fans. We are excited about Level 3's CDXL service, because we believe it will enable us to effectively distribute the podcasts using our services and better serve content that may be targeted toward niche audiences.''
Grant van Rooyen, President of Level 3's Content Markets Group commented, ''Our customers with large content libraries have been looking for an economic solution to enable them to monetize their substantial digital assets. We believe that the business of providing a solution for the efficient delivery of entire libraries of content, not just the most popular titles, will be increasingly important as online content distribution matures. Level 3 is excited to deliver a solution that enables customers like Libsyn to build a viable business model for monetizing their long-tail content.''
Level 3 Communications, Inc., an international communications company, operates one of the largest Internet backbones in the world. Through its customers, Level 3 is the primary provider of Internet connectivity for millions of broadband subscribers.

News: Dedicated Colocation Web Hosting, Ubiquity, Includes SSH, Linux .NET Framework
Bloomington, Illinois - (The Hosting News) - April 18, 2008 - Provider of shared, dedicated, and colocation hosting services, Ubiquity Hosting Solutions, has added SSH user-level access and Linux .NET Framework emulation through the Mono Project, to its list of advanced hosting features.
In addition, two new and unique Linux tools to be added to its web hosting services, effective immediately.
The first of these tools provides web developers, which, according to the company, is a rare service within the Linux web hosting industry, labeled ''jailed shell access.''
Clint Chapman, Chief Technical Officer for Ubiquity remarked, ''Linux is capable of so much more than what most web hosting companies are doing. We decided that the time had come to start delivering the full potential of what we offer.''
With this tool, webmasters are given the authority to connect to the web hosting provider using Secured Shell Handling (SSH), allowing the capability to compress and decompress files on the web server, execute Linux bash scripts, monitor system health, and a large variety of other features. Security in this environment has been maintained for the reason that Linux shell commands available to the webmaster have been ''jailed,'' which in turn will limit the availability of potentially dangerous commands to the users.
In addition to SSH, Ubiquity has stabilized the Mono Project's open source tool which emulates .NET Framework in a Linux web hosting environment. Through Mono, Ubiquity has successfully assembled a stable and effective platform for running ASPx scripting from a Linux system, in hopes of bridging the gap between Linux and Windows web hosting which otherwise exists.
Intel's modular approach to the Multi-Flex server chassis has allowed Ubiquity to provide a platform with full redundancy at the hardware level. This system uses redundant motherboard and CPU interfaces, isolated from the rest of the system, which interact with redundant, external NIC and PDU connections. Hard disk storage is supplied by a RAID 5 virtual drive pool in the systems storage controller, also isolated from the systems motherboard and processing resources, such that in the event of a motherboard failure; a fail-over node can be started almost instantly.
Corey Northcutt, Chief Communications Officer with Ubiquity Hosting Solutions noted, ''We're all pretty excited about this. It's clear that as technology has been advancing, the market has come to have higher and higher expectations of uptime and reliability. By going both modular and redundant at the hardware level, we now have a uniquely powerful tool in meeting that demand.''
Ubiquity has stated that the issue plans to roll-out the Intel Modular Server throughout Q2 and Q3 of 2008 until services in all five cities which Ubiquity operates in have been converted to the Multi-Flex system, and is currently placing all of its new customers in the system already live in Ubiquity's Chicago data center.
Ubiquity Hosting Solutions is a brand of Nobis Technology Group, LLC, a privately-held Linux web hosting organization which joins a variety of successful hosted service companies together, in a versatile environment. Ubiquity currently provides data center services in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York City.
