Suwanee, Georgia - (Website Hosting Directory) - September 10, 2007 - Web hosting company, Fat Jack Hosting (formerly Frontier Power Hosting) has completed a virtualization agreement with SWsoft server virtualization technology firm, to afford Fat Jack customers with the latest and most stable virtualization environment.

In addition, the SWsoft deployment will be a cost-effective solution for Fat Jack’s hosting customers. According to the company, for eight years, the web host provider has conducted an investigation process which revealed that SWsoft would be the best choice to provide its virtualization and automation software. Its product line includes Virtuozzo, the state of the art operating system virtualization solution. After exhaustive testing, the web host concluded that SWsoft’s suite of virtualization products met and exceeded other software’s capabilities.

Ralph Smith, Fat Jack Hosting Manager remarked, ”When dealing with SwSoft, we experienced none of the product issues we encountered with other virtualization providers. There was no pressure to purchase expensive partner hardware and SANS arrays, when what we already had in place was more than adequate. There was also no contending with promising but not enterprise-ready virtualization software like Xen. Like us, SWsoft had already proven itself a leader in the industry. The choice, therefore, was obvious.”

The greatest advantage of the SwSoft alliance, however, is that the technology is being deployed at about 25 percent of VMWare’s deployment cost. Those savings can, in turn, be passed on to Fat Jack Hosting’s clients. Built from the ground up, Fat Jack’s Virtualization 2007 minimizes outage issues, under loads its Web servers by 30 percent and employs its own team of virtualization specialists.

Recently, Fat Jack Hosting debuted its new Ground Floor Clustering Technology. Designed as a backup system technology, it is the same application used by Amazon, eBay and other top e-commerce sites. Its implementation is hoped to afford Fat Jack Hosting customers the highest online availability and performance. According to the company, Ground Floor Clustering Technology is the same expensive r backup system Amazon, eBay and other top sites use to maintain a high level of online availability and performance. From clustered storage arrays to specialized clustering hardware, Fat Jack Hosting’s entire hosting infrastructure is based off an industrialized design model.

According to a recent Harris Interactive poll, ”More than a third (35 percent) of U.S. adults who have personal/professional data and digital information stored on a PC or a laptop never back up their files, and a vast majority (76 percent) of those who do back up their files don’t do it often enough.” While this oversight can prove aggravating on a personal level, it can be downright devastating on a professional level.
