News: Web Hosting Colocation, Managed Infrastructure Updates, Detailed in Tier1 Report
New York, New York - (The Hosting News) - January 14, 2008 - Tier1 Research has issued a new report, focused on research highlights including the leaders in the managed hosting and Internet infrastructure sector, while detailing and identifying recent trends affecting future directions for the marketplace.
Daniel Golding, Senior Analyst at T1R and author of the report noted, ''While the managed hosting sector sees tremendous growth, a massive transformation in how shared hosting services are successfully marketed and sold is well under way. Disk space and bandwidth is no longer a selling point, and customers are now looking for the functionality that enables them to do things like blog, share photos, publish profile pages on a social network or sell things online. As a result, shared hosting has quickly commoditized and become a common denominator of sorts. In other words, shared hosting is no longer just about selling web space for static websites; rather, it is more about the many different things that can be done in a hosted environment.''
The report shows that the content Internet infrastructure market will continue to grow rapidly through 2008. T1R analysts estimate that the total for 2007 Internet infrastructure revenue will reach $17,990.75m, which represents 26% growth over the 2006 total of $14,216.39m. Based on current trends in consumer behavior, T1R expects the market for Internet infrastructure to grow another 24% in 2008.
The managed hosting sector remains the largest sector within Internet infrastructure and has experienced tremendous growth in the last 12 months in excess of 30% and will continue to show similar growth rates moving forward. Several trends account for that strong growth, including increased managed hosting adoption by SMBs and mid-tier enterprises and hosting for software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers. Moving forward into 2009 and 2010, an array of new utility storage and hosting services will continue to fuel strong growth.
The findings are contained in a report released by New York-based T1R, an independent research firm that analyzes the financial and industry implications of developments affecting public and private companies within the hosting, IT, communications and Internet sectors. The report is the second in a series designed to provide timely analysis and perspective on key technology trends and marketplace developments in the Internet infrastructure marketplace. It includes sector-specific examinations of shared hosting, dedicated hosting, managed hosting, Internet content delivery, colocation and interconnection.
The 36-page report, 'Internet Infrastructure: Market Overview 2008,' provides an idea of the overall size, scope and growth of the sectors within the Internet infrastructure market. It spotlights various prominent firms in each segment and gives the market outlook for each. It also includes an overview of the Internet infrastructure taxonomy, including the breakdown among various types of Internet infrastructure services.
The report covers more than 40 key public and private companies in the Internet infrastructure sector, including 1 and 1, Akamai, AT and T, BitGravity, CDNetworks, CI Host, ChinaCache, Endurance International, GoDaddy.com, GS Neotech, Hostway, Intergenia, Internap, Layered Tech, Level3, Limelight Networks, Melbourne IT, Mirror Image, NaviSite, Network Solutions, NTT America, OpSource, Peak 10, Peer1, The Planet, Rackspace, Register.com, Savvis, ServerCentral, ServePath, SoftLayer, SunGard, Terremark, United Internet, ViaWest, Verio (NTT), Verizon, WebSite Pros and Yahoo.

News: Server Virtualization Windows, Linux, Mac Beta, Debuts from SWsoft Parallels
Renton, Washington - (The Hosting News) - January 14, 2008 - Server virtualization firm, SWsoft (soon to be renamed Parallels), has released its beta version of the Parallels Server, the company's hypervisor-powered server virtualization solution.
Parallels Server is the first virtualization solution designed to run on Apple hardware, including Mac Pros and Xserves, and the first to run multiple copies of Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard on a single Apple computer. Parallels Server also runs on any x86 or 64-bit Windows or Linux-based server.
Parallels Server can be installed using the Parallels lightweight hypervisor, in which virtual machines run in tandem with a primary operating system, or 'bare metal', in which virtual machines run independently and are not dependent on a host operating system to function properly. At installation, users can choose to load Parallels Server in either the lightweight hypervisor mode or bare-metal mode. Parallels Server is the only virtualization product of any kind to afford users the flexibility to choose their implementation during installation.
Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft noted, ''Hundreds of thousands of customers are using Parallels virtualization software in their businesses and homes to get the most out of their Windows, Mac and Linux desktop computers and applications. Launching the Parallels Server beta is a key milestone in delivering on our vision of 'Optimized Computing' for servers and desktops across heterogeneous platforms.''
The software supports any combination of more than 50 different guest operating systems including Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 ''Longhorn,'' Red Hat Linux, SUSE Enterprise Linux, and Sun Solaris simultaneously in isolated virtual machines. Customers running Parallels Server on Apple hardware also have the industry-first option of running Mac OS X Server in a virtual machine.
Parallels Server is the first server virtualization product to be designed uniquely for small and medium businesses and departments of large enterprises, which require solutions with less complexity in management and deployment. It is an ideal server consolidation solution that can substantially reduce hardware expenditures and operating costs, and simplify back-end IT management.
In addition, Parallels Server is the first to offer experimental support for Intel second-generation virtualization technology -- Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d). By fully optimizing for hardware-enabled virtualization technologies like Intel VT-d, Parallels Server will not only deliver high levels of performance and reliability but also allows users to directly assign hardware resources, such as a second graphics or network card, to a virtual machine.
SWsoft's Parallels Server is the first server virtualization software solution on Intel-based Apple hardware supporting Mac OS X Server, including Apple's new Xserve and Mac Pro lines, which were announced yesterday. With Parallels Server, Mac OS X Server administrators will be able to run important, industry-standard, workloads such as SQL Server and Exchange Server at the same time as their Mac OS X Server applications.
The product is also the first ever to enable running Mac OS X Server in a virtual machine. This gives users the ability to create sandboxed Mac OS X Server virtual machines in which they can test patches, new software, and experiment with new Apple hardware configurations, without compromising a production server. Coupled with Parallels Desktop for Mac, the company's award-winning desktop virtualization solution, Parallels Server presents businesses with a unique opportunity to standardize on Apple desktop and server hardware while still having access to applications written for any operating system.
Parallels Server joins SWsoft's Virtuozzo Containers as an additional SWsoft server virtualization technology. The company will soon extend its virtualization management tools to manage both Virtuozzo Containers and Parallels virtual machines in one solution.
Key Features in the Parallels Server beta include:
-
The ability to run any combination of more than 50 different x86 and x64 guest operating systems in secure, high-performing virtual machines, plus the option to run virtual machines in the headless mode via a "bare metal" hypervisor
-
Parallels Server's industry-first capability to simultaneously run multiple copies of Mac OS X Server, Windows Server and Linux on the same Xserve
-
Running Parallels Server on Apple hardware gives users the industry-first option to run Mac OS X Server in a virtual machine
-
Remote control of the virtual machines via the Parallels Management Console
-
Support for up to 64Gb of RAM on the host computer
-
Full support for x64 primary and guest OSes, as well as 2-way SMP in virtual machines. The final release version will support up to 4-way SMP
-
Multi-user access to the same virtual machine
-
Support for ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) in virtual machines
-
Completely open, fully scriptable APIs for customized management
- Full support for Intel VT-x, and experimental support for Intel VT-d
SWsoft (soon to be renamed Parallels) is a global leader in virtualization and automation software that helps consumers, businesses, and service providers optimize their use of technology. The company's software is used by more than 700,000 customers in 125 countries. The SWsoft product line includes Virtuozzo Containers - the leading operating system virtualization solution, Parallels Desktop - the leading desktop virtualization product, and Plesk - the leading server control panel. Founded in 1999, the company has offices throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
