Cloud Linux Inc. Releases LVE Wrappers, New Tools to Control CPU Usage For Individual Users and Programs on Dedicated Servers    - New Tools Provide Granular Level Server Control Unavailable from Other OS Offers

Princeton, NJ, May 19, 2010 – Cloud Linux Inc., an innovative software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, today announces the availability of LVE Wrappers™, tools that let the server owner control the exact CPU usage for individual users and applications. LVE Wrappers are based on CloudLinux’s Lightweight Virtual Environment™ technology that allows the administrator to control CPU usage on a server at the tenant or application level. LVE Wrappers allow the server owner to control resources for each application they run which gives them greater flexibility and stability out of the overall server infrastructure. The software is available to all CloudLinux subscribers.

The release of these innovative tools is further demonstration of Cloud Linux’s promise to help service providers increase stability and control of the server environment for more efficient and profitable operations. CloudLinux invented the Lightweight Virtual Environment™ a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a specific process or customer. LVE isolate specific hardware resources in a lightweight container and prevents one tenant on a shared server from affecting others – especially due to a sudden peak load from a single tenant.

With new LVE Wrappers, the server owner can start individual applications and daemons inside LVE environments, isolating resource usage for each program. That allows greater overall stability of the server, as one application cannot affect all the other applications running on the server. This is especially useful for servers running multiple applications. For instance, a dedicated server runs a variety of software, such as mail, MySQL and Apache, often at the same time. A spike in mail traffic or a bug in the anti-spam filtering could affect the web server – and cause the website to slow down. CloudLinux lets the administrator have better control and make sure each daemon only gets the pre-set amount of CPU. The administrator now has the tools to alter the amount of CPU any application can get – on the fly. With LVE, CloudLinux can deliver such unprecedented level of control while being transparent from the system administrator.

Hosting providers and companies who use dedicated servers will be able to benefit from this new offering. With CloudLinux, a server administrator can set the resource limit for CPU (I/O and memory usage limits to be released in the future). With LVE Wrappers, they can manage server resources at the application level giving them more granular and detailed control over resource allocation and management.

“LVE wrappers give system administrators an unprecedented level of control over the resources that services can use, without the overhead of fully blown virtualization. It provides a great level of convenience and control,” said Igor Seletskiy, Cloud Linux Inc. Founder and CEO.

LVE wrappers reflect a continuing effort on the part of Cloud Linux Inc. to innovate in the space of application and tenant level virtualization and deliver tools that increase stability and Quality of Service (QoS) for shared hosting providers and dedicated server owners.

Innovative CloudLinux Technology Increases

Control and Flexibility for Hosting Clients

Princeton, NJ, May 12, 2010 – Cloud Linux Inc. an innovative software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, announces a new partnership with Canadian Web Hosting, a leading provider of web hosting services for the Canadian market.  Through this partnership, Canadian Web Hosting will integrate CloudLinux as one of its standard Linux Operating Systems (OS) for its customers. CloudLinux was selected because of its new innovative Lightweight Virtual Environment™ (LVE) technology that will help Canadian Web Hosting deliver enhanced hosting capabilities including increased control, stability and flexibility to its customer base.

Since 1998 Canadian Web Hosting has provided leading edge hosting solutions including secure and reliable web hosting, dedicated servers, virtual private servers and enhanced mail services.  Their expertise and commitment to delivering unmatched service and support is further enhanced by its new partnership with CloudLinux.  Providing capabilities for increased control and stability, CloudLinux’s LVE technology limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. This innovation gives technical engineers command line control to manage the CPU and IO and ensure that each account on a shared server is allocated enough resources to run efficiently without jeopardizing the other tenants on that server.

“Canadian Web Hosting is committed to bringing the most innovative and emerging technologies to our customers and CloudLinux is at the forefront of hosting innovation – giving hosting service providers more control, flexibility and agility,” said Tony Chu, Canadian Web Hosting CEO. “Our strategy has been to expand our services to deliver additional scalability and value to our customers; integrating CloudLinux into our offerings will allow us to do just that.”

The core technology behind CloudLinux is its Lightweight Virtual Environment, a transparent and lightweight kernel-level technology similar to container type virtualization. Giving the hosting service provider the ability to control resources on the server, CloudLinux achieves what other operating systems cannot. Once installed, the LVE works transparently to manage resources that the hosting provider sets for the accounts on a server.

“We are very pleased to have Canadian Web Hosting as a partner so they can share the benefits of maximum uptime and server control with their clients,” states Igor Seletskiy, Cloud Linux Inc. Founderand CEO.  “They are in a unique position to share this new hosting capability with other hosting providers as well as direct clients who can benefit from the CloudLinux resource management.”

With LVE, Canadian Web Hosting administrators now have the tools to control the CPU and IO demands of individual customers, so that a single site cannot slow or take down a whole server, thus improving overall customer experience and increasing server control and stability.
