			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.myhostnews.com" target="_self">Web Host News</a> &#8211; <strong>HERNDON, VA </strong>– XO Communications announced that it has been selected by Vitelity, one of the nation’s largest VoIP network providers with more than 10,000 wholesale customers in 50 states, to provide dedicated long-haul network connectivity between Denver and Los Angeles. The 10 Gbps backbone will be the Denver-based company’s first long-haul route to Los Angeles. Vitelity also is upgrading its Denver metro network service with XO, moving to a 10 Gbps backbone. By expanding and upgrading its network services with XO, the company is well positioned to offer customers high-speed, high-capacity VoIP services at a competitive price, as well as continue to grow its network footprint.</p>
<p>The dedicated long-haul route between Denver and Los Angeles will allow Vitelity to connect its local-area network to its data center in Denver, providing Los Angeles customers with faster and more reliable service. Once completed, Vitelity will cover nearly half the country with 10 Gbps network connectivity provided by XO.<span id="more-6334"></span></p>

“Vitelity’s partnership with XO enables us to solidify our presence in the Los Angeles market, as well as offer more competitive services and attract more multi-location enterprise customers,” said Chris Hall, chief operating officer of Vitelity. “The decision to expand and upgrade our network with XO was easy, as our established history with the company has proven to us its commitment to high-level service.”</p>

This gave them a fully redundant connection to the Internet and provided their data with an alternate path, protecting them from any outage that could occur. Zayo is also committed to providing dedicated fiber-based connectivity between Online Tech’s data center and its customers where highly reliable and scalable bandwidth is needed.</p>
<p>“Zayo has both a local and national reputation for providing quality fiber connectivity,” said Yan Ness, CEO of Online Tech. “Zayo was able to provide a completely separate physical fiber path into the data center to increase the stability of our network and eliminate any single points of failure. Zayo delivered against their commitments and were able to bring the new connections up right on schedule.”</p>
<p>As a provider, Online Tech knew they needed additional network protection because no single provider can provide the diverse protection necessary into their facility. Zayo already had a substantial fiber presence in the Ann Arbor market and was not only able to meet today’s needs, but has the ability to grow and expand as Online Tech gain customers and realize higher capacity requirements in the future.</p>
<p>“We are proud to provide the connectivity for one of the top data centers in the region,” said Dave Cushing, Great Lakes VP for Zayo Enterprise Networks. “Since we already had a fiber network right in the park, it allowed us to provide them with simple and scalable access. We look forward to building on this infrastructure by connecting additional Online Tech customers to our fiber network.”</p>

<p>“As the only U.S.-based global service provider to achieve both Master UC and Master Security specializations, we can deliver some of the most secure, integrated solutions available today,” said Anthony Recine, vice president of network and communications solutions marketing for Verizon Business.  “The powerful combination of Verizon’s network-based VoIP services and Cisco’s UC platform – together with our professional consulting expertise – is enabling better business processes and productivity for our customers while assembling the building blocks to provide cloud-based unified communications as a service.<br />

In addition to the Master Unified Communications Specialization, Verizon today also announced it has achieved Cisco’s Master Security Specialization and Advanced Data Center Networking Infrastructure Specialization in Europe.  The two companies will demonstrate new and existing unified communications and collaboration capabilities at the VoiceCon trade show, March 22 – 24 in Orlando, Fla.</p>
<p>To achieve the Master Unified Communications Specialization, resale channel partners must first attain the Advanced Unified Communications Specialization. Partners must then meet stringent requirements that demonstrate their master-level sales, technical and services capabilities.  Furthermore, master specialized partners must satisfy a number of Cisco and industry-standard technical certification requirements; provide customer references that document Cisco-prescribed design and deployment capabilities; and show evidence that they have the infrastructure to support a full menu of Lifecycle Services offerings and capabilities.</p>
<p>More information regarding the Master Unified Communications Specialization can be found at: www.cisco.com/web/partners/program/specializations/ucom/master/index.html.</p>
<p>The Cisco Resale Channel Program provides partners with the training required to build sales, technical and Cisco Lifecycle Services skills, and then validates their skills through a third-party audit.  Cisco resale partner certifications &#8212; Select, Premier, Silver and Gold &#8211;   represent an increasing breadth of skills across key technologies and a partner’s ability to deliver integrated networking solutions.  Cisco resale partner specializations &#8212; SMB, Express, Advanced and Master &#8212; reflect an increasing depth of sales, technical and service expertise in particular technologies.  Cisco master specializations provide Verizon Business access to comprehensive sales, technical, and lifecycle services training and support available from Cisco.</p>

A veteran North American web hosting company (since 1998), this month’s release of the Netfirms® VPS S-Series marks a product expansion that goes beyond the demands of their usual personal and small business customer.</p>
<p>These S-Series Servers, target the web professional looking for real flexibility and control.<br />

As the launch campaign suggests, this is a ‘Seriously Scalable, Stable and Sophisticated’ offering. Powered by leading virtual technology Parallels® Virtuozzo, these servers support full root access so that users can install the applications they need. Starting at only $34.95 US/month (based on a 2 year plan), it’s the ideal hybrid for those professionals not quite ready to invest in a dedicated server.</p>
<p>“We’re committed to our personal and business customer. This introduction is intended to address the needs of the professional level users that are evolving out of our current customer base; customers that have been with us for a while whose needs have graduated. They’re now looking for more flexibility and control and we want to be able to service these needs,” says Thomas Savundra, Co-founder and CEO. “It’s the gradual next step for web professionals, as well as it is for us as a hosting company.”</p>
<p>Located onsite at the state-of-the-art Netfirms datacenter, these feature rich servers come standard with CentOS 5, PHP, MySQL, Perl, Python, Ruby and more. Plus, with the Parallels® Plesk Panel, you&#8217;ll find hundreds of web applications such as social media, ecommerce, rich email, content management systems and CRM that can all be activated with just one-click. And if you don’t find what you’re looking for, full root access will allow you to install whatever you need.</p>
<p>“It’s a self-serve product by nature, but we’ve introduced a few details to keep things simple,” says Jason Koo, Development Manager. “My personal favorite is the Dual Control feature where our own Netfirms Control Panel maintains all the administrative needs and the 3-R’s – reinstall, reboot, and reset, while the Parallels Plesk Panel does the rest with regards to what goes on inside your server.”</p>
<p>The VPS S-Series offer 3 plan levels. For full plan specifications, visit www.netfirms.com/vps/compare-plans. Sign ups during the introductory period include 3 months FREE on all one and two year plans.</p>

<p>Representing Intellect, the trade association, on the steering committee for BS 25999, SunGard helped to define the first standard of its kind, which is alerting the wider business community to the importance of business continuity management. SunGard then became the first business continuity expert to secure certification against the BS 25999 Standard. It is now in the unique position of being able to assist its customers – both large and small alike – through the certification process drawing on its own experience.</p>
