Check out Igor Seletskiy, CEO and Founder of Cloud Linux, Inc. and his recent interview with Liam Eagle, Editor of The WHIR, the largest news organization and consumer resource dedicated to the web hosting industry. The interview explores the challenges shared hosting providers face in delivering reliable service and optimizing servers for maximum performance and efficiency.

CloudLinux OS was specifically designed for the hosting marketplace to deliver improved performance, control, stability, and security across shared hosting platforms.

The core technology behind CloudLinux OS is its Lightweight Virtual Environment™ a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a group of processes. With LVE, administrators now have the tools to control the CPU and IO demands of individual tenants, so that a single site cannot slow or take down a whole server.

Mr. Seletskiy will also be presenting on a panel entitled “What Tomorrow Brings” on July 21, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. The panel will be a discussion on technology and trends in the hosting market.

At today’s New York-New Belfast Conference, held at the Ritz Carlton New York in downtown NYC Bjarni Thorvardarson, the CEO of Hibernia Atlantic, spoke on the “The Compelling Proposition of Belfast” panel, sponsored by Northern Ireland Bureau.  Highlighting the strengths of Northern Ireland Mr. Thorvardarson also discussed the importance of the Project Kelvin infrastructure, an extensive submarine and terrestrial cable deployed by Hibernia Atlantic which directly connects Northern Ireland to North America.

“Hibernia Atlantic has been promoting the fibre optic cable throughout the island of Ireland,” stated Mr. Thorvardarson. “This has resulted in the recent announcement of Tibus, a subsidiary of UTV Media plc, as a partner for marketing and supporting the first ever fibre optic cable capacity to come directly into Northern Ireland directly from the USA. Other announcements have included, RTE selecting Hibernia Media, a subsidiary of Hibernia Atlantic, for high performance, fibre network capacity for international contribution links for its television news services and programmes. Locally, North West Electronics has expanded its wireless network with Hibernia Altantic’s fibre connectivity for Project Kelvin. So there are all sorts of interesting and wonderful things taking place because of Kelvin.”

“I also spoke at the New York – New Belfast Conference this week in New York City, which showcased various aspects of Northern Ireland, and provided businesses the opportunity to learn from best practice,” commented Mr. Thorvardarson. “This was a great opportunity to discuss how important the Kelvin infrastructure is when businesses are making a decision to locate in Northern Ireland.”
