Next Generation of Handy Backup Incorporates Cloud






ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
(The Hosting News) – Novosoft, the international software development and IT consultancy company, announced the release of a new program from the Handy Backup software family. The utility brings the most actual up to date backup features (like cloud storage and video game plug-in compatibility) available via refined interface.
“When a question arises which customers you put in the first place, (A) the current ones who you have history with or (B) the future ones who you want to attract to your product and service, the right answer is (C) both groups are equally important. It might be quite a challenge to aim both categories at the same time, for they are rather different in what they want and how it is to be delivered to them, but our experience shows that there is nothing impossible about the goal if you are ready to toil hard. Let the evolution of the product be gradual with each step brining new quality, that is the recipe that works for Handy Backup,” said Alexander Prichalov, the head of Novosoft Development Department.
“The gradualness (oriented primarily towards actual users) of the new Handy Backup is the succession of interfaces. With all the maximal simplicity and refined usability, the new one is designed to look structurally associative to the previous version, for users who got accustomed to the former interface not to get confused with changes. At the same time the interface is intuitively organized, for the new users who are not familiar with the program structure to find desirable backup features just right away. The new quality is in the most called-for backup options, like easy accessible fair priced cloud storage and compatibility with new functionality which might be individually set up with the use of plug-ins,” added Mr. Prichalov.
New Handy Backup demonstrates refined interface, which makes it possible to shift between different views optimized for easy automated backup and for manually adjustable backup configuration.
The program is integrated with online backup service which is accessible both from the utility interface (an online account is automatically generated as the first online task is launched) and on the web (via online cabinet).
The utility is easily compatible with functionality extension, which can be manually adjusted due to particular user needs (e.g. backup of Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 video games) and is configured by means of plug-ins.

FIBERTOWN Breaks Ground on New Houston Colocation Data Center



(The Hosting News) – FIBERTOWN, Houston colocation provider and Central Texas business continuity campus, broadened its colocation offering and announced the groundbreaking of a new 50,000 square foot data center in North Houston, to be open for customer installation in early July. The data center will maintain fault tolerant 2N power and cooling, 24×7 security, carrier-neutral access to multiple Tier I Internet providers, and 30,000 square feet of raised floor.
“Demand for quality data center space in Houston is growing as more companies look to colocation to ensure high availability of resources and reduce IT costs,” said John Clanton, CEO for FIBERTOWN. “The easily accessible location and proximity to fiber make North Houston the perfect location for our newest state-of-the-art facility.”
With two data centers in Bryan/College Station, FIBERTOWN has attracted Houston companies looking to secure their IT systems and disaster recovery operations outside hurricane zones. The new Houston data center – located at the intersection of I45 and Beltway 8 North – will provide colocation options for Houston businesses that require more immediate access to their equipment.
The new pod-designed facility is strategically situated outside the FEMA 500-year flood plain along the main fiber route from Dallas to Houston, providing easy access to high-performance telecommunications networks. Located at 12031 North Freeway, the data center is easily accessible from all major Houston freeways.
“Our growth is a direct result of customer and market demand,” said Brandon Perryman, vice president of sales and marketing for FIBERTOWN. “Businesses with complex IT systems and mission critical applications are outgrowing their data centers. More are looking to FIBERTOWN for scalability and a 100% SLA.”
“We looked at the Houston data center market last year and see it continuing to be an underserved market in need of additional data center supply,” said Jeff Paschke, senior datacenter analyst for Tier1 Research.  “Even with the hurricane risk, the size of the economy and growth of companies in Houston results in a continued solid demand for data center space.”
FIBERTOWN has partnered with Digital Realty Trust <http://www.digitalrealtytrust.com/> , a global wholesale data center provider, for the facility. Digital Realty Trust’s modular Turn-Key Datacenter® enables more efficient use of resources and allows for easier deployment of new technologies. Three independent power rooms will deliver fully redundant, dual power to each Datacenter pod. Additional features include:
·       Multiple generators with back-up fuel supply
·       Fully redundant, 2N cooling infrastructure with leak detection on all piping
·       Network Operations Center staffed 24/7
·       Inside and perimeter security controls
·       Hot and cold aisle design for optimum efficiency
·       The latest in VESDA and smoke/fire protection
“We greatly appreciate the opportunity to support FIBERTOWN’s growth by providing it with flexible, secure and cost-effective data center facilities,” said Brent Behrman, senior vice president, sales at Digital Realty Trust.

We are seeing a new generation of cloud user that is fully leveraging cloud capacity and this service is what they have been crying out for.

SEO Service Rebranding



.
(Gawkwire.com) – Professional search engine optimization (SEO) is a complex process that requires a many-faceted approach. SEO techniques change constantly, which is why so many marketing and ad agencies, web developers and local business consultants shy away from offering it to their clients.
Internet entrepreneur, James Schramko, created the immensely successful SEO Partner service in 2009 to provide a high level SEO service to his colleagues and clients. However, increasingly popular is the provision of this service to consultants, on a ‘Reseller’ basis.
Who Are Resellers?
Client requests for SEO services are received by businesses as diverse as advertising agencies, marketing and local business consultants and web developers. It is a marketing strategy, but it is one in which few marketers are adept.
The inability of these organizations to provide SEO to their clients became a thing of the past, however, with the creation of SEO Partner.
Schramko explains “We have made it possible for all manner of businesses to offer SEO services to their clients, on a reseller basis. Their clients never need to know that the reseller is not the person delivering the service.”
Report Rebranding
SEO Partner resellers receive monthly reports for each of their clients.
“We are now offering to add our resellers’ logos to their clients’ reports, which will streamline the reporting process for them.” says Schramko.
“Through SEO Partner there is now no reason why all ad agencies, consultants and web developers cannot offer SEO services to their clients and make at least 100% profit margin on top.”
SEO Partner Services
SEO strategies are constantly changing, and can include article, video, forum and social media marketing, along with blog networking and press release creation. All of these techniques play different roles in the SEO Partner suite of products, which have been tailored to suit both small and large businesses.
More details are available at SEOPartner.com
About James Schramko

James has not just mastered the essential skills you need to be a success on the internet, but he is applying them in innovative ways that have skyrocketed him to international renown.
James continues to developed his suite information products and automated profit systems that are in demand by the top internet marketers around the world (they now call him for advice!). In so doing he indulges his passion for product development and innovation, and mentoring students in high-level and ethical internet marketing.
About SEO Partner

Mailshell’s New Encrypted DNS Service



(Gawkwire.com) – Mailshell, the leading provider of Internet security engines for OEMs, today introduced Mailshell DNS, the first DNS service with military-grade encryption. This new DNS service closes DNS’ primary security hole and strengthens the security of all web sites. It relies on secure AES 256-bit encryption that would, according to Verisign, require trillions of years to crack. Mailshell’s DNS service can also block and filter unwanted and malicious web sites. Thousands of companies and millions of consumers worldwide currently rely on ‘Powered by Mailshell’ engines for Internet security.
All modern web browsers can connect to online banks, shops, and web sites securely but they first depend on an unencrypted, vulnerable DNS service to find the Internet address of those web sites. An unencrypted DNS service can be attacked by hackers to return false results, directing users to fake sites that the hackers control and that can be used to exploit users. Some vulnerable DNS services are currently used by millions of people and are tempting and lucrative targets for hackers. According to a 2008 warning from US-CERT (Computer Emergency Readiness Team), "web traffic, e-mail, and other important network data, can be redirected to systems under the attacker’s control" via DNS poisoning.
“Personal data and financial information are at greater risk from DNS hijacking and ‘man-in-the-middle’ attacks than ever before,” said Tonny Yu, CEO of Mailshell. “Our DNS security platform offers turn-key functionality, easy integration and guaranteed protection without long development cycles, delayed product launches or increased support costs.”
The Mailshell DNS SDK is available for OEM licensing. Mailshell’s DNS SDK combines a small software library with the power of LiveFeed, Mailshell’s fast, reliable, and secure cloud-based data service. LiveFeed includes 34 secured data centers in 12 countries on five continents, to ensure minimum latency and guaranteed 100 percent uptime. Mailshell has more than 11 years of experience in cloud computing-based security and LiveFeed handles more than 10 billion queries per month.
Mailshell collects LiveFeed data from around the world via its network of OEM partners, statistics gathered from its SDKs, data sharing partnerships and LiveReport, Mailshell’s collaborative network of end-users. Mailshell gathers, aggregates, and synthesizes hundreds of millions of data points per day to provide a comprehensive view of new attack vectors, security threats and changing online reputations. The resulting LiveFeed data is available via near real-time queries by Mailshell’s OEM partners, either as a stand-alone service or from within one of Mailshell’s SDKs.
Mailshell (http://www.mailshell.com) is the leading provider of Internet security engines for OEMs, including Internet traffic reputation, anti-spam, anti-phishing and DNS security. Mailshell’s software helps its global network OEM partners, including McAfee, CA, Check Point, ESET, AVG, Avast, NETGEAR and others, generate new revenue, up-sell existing products to new customers and minimize related engineering and support costs.
