Data centres and hosting set to serve up iomart’s future growth

iomart group plc today presented its consolidated interim results for the six month period ended 30^th September 2007.  

The results show that the group swung to a first-half pre-tax loss due to the initial development of the datacentre business but that trading since the end of the period has been in line with expectations. 

The Group posted a pre-tax loss of £435,000 compared with a pre-tax profit of £30,000 a year ago. Revenue fell to £9.6M versus £10.9 M a year earlier.  Commenting on the results, Angus MacSween, CEO,stated: “We are seeing considerable and growing interest in both our datacentre services and our complex hosting capability - particularly from our target market of blue-chip enterprises seeking long term solutions. These will form the core of the group’s future revenue streams, providing high margin earnings with good visibility.” 

The Group sees positive market dynamics within the datacentre space, as echoed by numerous market commentators. With demand outstripping supply, prices for datacentre space are inevitably increasing. 

MacSween added: “This increasing market demand, coupled with iomart’s ability to offer the complete set of components in the hosting arena from dedicated servers through to complex managed hosting solutions and co-location space, means that the Group is well positioned to win high-value contracts with large organisations requiring significant amounts of rack space. Contracts of this kind, usually long-term, attract a premium price while offering numerous up-selling opportunities” 

The main focus of the management team, during the reporting period, has been to make the datacentres fully operational and able to deliver according to the highest industry standards. Both the London and Glasgow datacentres are fully operational and commissioning work has begun on the Nottingham and Leicester datacentres.  

“We have significantly increased our profile as a prominent player within the datacentre market, capable of offering a full end-to-end service. As a result of these developments, combined with encouraging market conditions, we are very positive regarding the long term prospects for its datacentre business. We believe that our strategy of becoming a leader in managed complex hosting, leveraging our own national infrastructure and experience will create a business with strong revenue streams, providing high margin earnings and good visibility.”

1&1 Internet Adds Mobile Support For Open-Xchange Based SaaS Solution

Customers get new emails, tasks, and appointments automatically synchronized
with their mobile devices; Outlook Connector added to all standard packages

TARRYTOWN, NY, November 28, 2007 - 1&1 Internet, the world’s largest web host by known servers, today announced a new push email and PIM (personal information management, e.g., contacts and calendar) synchronization solution for its hosted email and collaboration packages delivered by Open-Xchange Inc.’s award winning Smart Collaboration™ technology. This push service based on Funambol’s open source technology will be available first in Germany as of December, and subsequently together with the launch of the hosted email and groupware offering in US, UK and France within the first half of 2008.

1&1 utilizes the Open-Xchange platform for a range of 1&1 branded MailXchange email and collaboration packages to be launched worldwide. 1&1 MailXchange offers the full set of personal information management (“PIM”) functionality - email, calendaring, contacts and task management together with advanced groupware features such as Documail and Smart Document Sharing. The solution delivers valuable functionality for small businesses and individuals, enabling them to work remotely by providing communications at very low price points.

Through the 1&1 Control Center, customers get a free software client for all smartphones and pocket PCs using Windows 5.0 and Windows 6.0. Provided that customers have a contract with their carrier for data transfer, they automatically get emails, appointments, contacts and tasks pushed to their mobile devices.

“With the Introduction of our new interface for mobile synchronization, MailXchange’s functionality is head to head with our competitors,“ said Andreas Gauger, 1&1 chairman of the board. “Freelancers, SMEs and field staff among others will benefit most from our communication stack, completely built on open source software.“

“Business users and consumers want easy-to-use mobile messaging and collaboration capabilities such as Personal Information Management services, on all the devices they use, anywhere, anytime at a reasonable cost,” said Gerald Labie, CEO of Open-Xchange. “The market potential for mobile SaaS solutions is tremendous. Our three way partnership is a major step forward in meeting this need.”

“1&1 is leading the way into a new mobile market in which many more people can receive compelling mobile services such as push email at a fraction of the cost of proprietary alternatives,” said Fabrizio Capobianco, Funambol CEO. “We are pleased to work with 1&1 and Open-Xchange as this will set a precedent for how service providers can utilize open source to address a major new portion of the market and provide profitable mobile services.”

Today’s move is another indication of 1&1’s progress within the global ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) market.  The company’s mass roll-out of Open-Xchange and Funambol technology represents 1&1’s confidence in open source alternatives, and its commitment to the open source community.

1&1’s use of the open source platforms from Open-Xchange and Funambol equip customers with the very latest features at a much lower price than comparable products.  The open source nature of the solutions facilitates seamless integration within 1&1’s back-end email systems. Open-Xchange provides high performance and reliability and offers 1&1 greater scalability than similar licensed solutions. Moreover, Open-Xchange’s and Funambol’s open standards and APIs (Application Programming Interface) enabled a seamless integration into 1&1’s business processes, such as user provisioning, systems management and billing processes.

Pricing and availability
MailXchange accounts include 5 GB of storage for email and 2 GB more to store and share documents in private folders. MailXchange’s AJAX-based web interface is always accessible to users, regardless of platform. To further facilitate adoption, MailXchange supports standard groupware clients, such as Microsoft Outlook. As MailXchange supports the WebDAV interface, documents can be easiliy accessed through Windows Explorer as well. 1&1 MailXchange accounts will be available as a standalone package and as a add-on for existing hosting customers. Accounts start at 4.99 Euro per month for a single user, going down to 1.99 Euro per month for quantities of 100 accounts or more.

London, United Kingdom - (Website Hosting Directory) - November 13, 2007 - Web hosting and online technology services company, Hostway UK, is offering a 50% discount on industry standard 128 bit SSL certificates.

Thomas Herbert, Product Manager at Hostway remarked, ”With the Christmas period looming, e-tailers need to make sure that consumers can shop safely on their sites. By offering SSL certificates at a lower price, we hope that more ecommerce shops will be able to confidently conduct sales over the festive season.”

At 35 pounds per annum, the 128 bit GeoTrust QuickSSL premium certificates will be the lowest cost single root certificate available. An automated 2-step validation enables the certificate to be verified immediately without the need to fax in paperwork, which, it is hoped, will further encourage users to take up the offer.

Secure sockets layer (SSL) works by encrypting information before it is transmitted over the Internet, ensuring that no-one can read it in transit, making shopping online safer and more secure. When a site offers an SSL-secured form, the information submitted via that form (typically credit card information) is encrypted using a special certificate key” and then decrypted with another key after it has been transmitted. When users access a site secured with SSL using either Netscape or Internet Explorer, a padlock symbol displays in their browser window indicating that the site is secure.

Traditionally, SSL technology has been a prohibitive cost for the lower-end user. By lowering the standard price for SSL, Hostway is hoping more site owners will be able to show their customers they can be confident of transacting safely on their sites.

Hostway Corporation provides web hosting services with eight locations in the US (Chicago (HQ), Austin, Tampa and Vancouver), Europe (Belgium, France, Frankfurt, Hannover, London and Netherlands), Asia (Korea) and Australia (Sydney), Canada, Germany, Korea, and Australia.

Aliso Viejo, California - (The Hosting News) - November 9, 2007 - Utility and grid computing solutions firm, 3Tera, Inc., has released the alpha version of a new concept in data center operations. Dynamic Appliances was developed to extend the firm’s simplification mandate of operations, so that elements can be configured for self-management.

Dynamic Appliances are packaged data center operations like backup, migration or SLAs that users can add to their applications to provide functionality. Unlike traditional data center management systems that require months to deploy and numerous system administrators to maintain, Dynamic Appliances allow data center operations to be easily and directly embedded into distributed applications simply by dragging and dropping them into the application, where the decision rules for operation are simplest to define and maintain. The application thereby gains the ability to perform that operation for itself, even when moved to another data center.

Peter Nickolov, President and CTO, 3Tera noted, ”Dynamic Appliances make complex data center operations like backups, SLAs, disaster recovery, that till now were performed only for mission critical applications, available and affordable to all applications. Because they are so easy to adopt and maintain by any AppLogic user, Dynamic Appliances provide a very efficient way to cut time consuming and expensive operations for many Web 2.0 or SaaS providers.”

Dynamic Appliances work by leveraging the ability of 3Tera’s AppLogic grid operating system to package distributed applications into manageable entities. For instance, the Backup Dynamic Appliance, which is used to backup an application to an offsite service, doesn’t require configuration with lists of files or firewall rules because it can simply issue commands to AppLogic to perform operations on entire distributed applications.

Bert Armijo, Senior Vice President, Sales and Product Management, 3Tera offered, ”One of the biggest advantages of utility computing is the reduction in labor required to deploy, maintain and scale applications. To accomplish this, we focus on driving manageability down into the applications, making them self-manageable. This is a very powerful way to deal with operations, because at the application level, most management issues are small and can be handled with just a few properties.”

3Tera’s Dynamic Appliances are now available as alpha release to all AppLogic users at no additional cost. Initially Backup and Migration Dynamic Appliances be available. The SLA, Disaster Recovery, Patch Management and Power Saver appliances will be rolled out during the alpha. Prospective users can find more information at www.3tera.com/dynamic-appliances.html.

Earlier this year, 3Tera’s new AppLogic 2.1 release, was developed to add Application Monitoring and Multi-CPU scalability to the commercial platform designed to enable true utility computing for SaaS and Web 2.0 companies. The availability of the new application, was announced at the Office 2.0 Conference in San Francisco, California. The new 2.1 release of the AppLogic grid operating system endeavors to provide greater scalability, improved resource utilization, visibility and control over application performance.

3Tera, Inc. is a grid and utility computing firm for the deployment and scaling of web applications. Named a 2007 Category Breaker by NetworkWorld magazine, 3Tera’s AppLogic grid operating system enables the first true utility computing services that completely remove the cost and complexity associated with infrastructure. The operating system converts commodity servers into scalable grids on which users can visually operate deploy and scale transactional web applications without any modification of code. Software-as-a-Service providers, Web 2.0 companies, enterprises and open source developers may obtain new online services, to market by utilizing resources from commodity hosting providers on a pay-as-you-go basis, while maintaining complete control of applications including visual operation, scaling and on-demand resource provisioning using only a browser.
