WHIR Interview: CloudLinux CEO and Founder – Igor Seletskiy

Posted by vanessa on July 14th, 2010

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.

For the complete article and interview please Click Here.

You can meet Igor Seletskiy at the upcoming HostingCon conference in Austin, TX at the Austin Convention Center from July 19 – 21, 2010. 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.

ancotel  Group Founds New Telehouse at 1025 Old Country Road, Long Island, New York

Facility to be developed into a key interconnection hub for connectivity between North America and Europe

 

Westbury, NY U.S.A. - June 30, 2010 – Frankfurt-based ancotel GmbH, operators of the largest and most important telecommunications and data network hub in Europe, announces today that it has acquired LIDARC (“Long Island Data and Recovery Center”), a Long Island-based colocation and interconnection facility located at 1025 Old Country Road (‘1025 OCR’), Westbury, NY.  This acquisition marks ancotel’s first foray into the United States’ data center and colocation market.  The company will leverage Long Island’s telecommunications infrastructure to provide invaluable communication opportunities throughout the Long Island and New York metro area to become the preferred gateway to Europe’s number one telehouse. 

Long Island serves as a key landing point for submarine cables that connect North America to Europe.  Until recently, network infrastructure has often bypassed Long Island to traverse into and through Manhattan. Jason Schafer, Senior Analyst Datacenters for Tier1 Research comments, “Downtown Manhattan has been facing datacenter, power, and real-estate capacity constraints, which is pushing business outwards from downtown to areas such as northern NJ and Long Island.”  In addition, many companies today require diverse routing around New York City as well as lower latency connectivity for critical communications and financial trading applications between Europe, South America and Asia. 

“ancotel is known as one of the most successful companies for telehousing and interconnection services in the world,” states John Reynolds, Managing Director of ancotel USA and former Managing Director of LIDARC.  “The company is committed to its investment on Long Island.  They have plans to transform this facility into a critical meet-me-point for companies, cable operators, carriers, service providers and international companies. This will create jobs in the area and attract an array of industries, such as health care, financial, media and content providers, to Nassau County.  We believe that this facility will be the spark that lights the flame of economic development on Long Island.”

Geography plays an important role in today’s communications age.  With more companies requiring global direct connectivity for voice, data and video traffic, proximity to service providers and applications are increasingly significant.   Data center facilities have become a key ingredient in the success of global enterprise businesses IT infrastructure.   Until ancotel USA’s telehouse opening, Long Island’s data center and colocation market has been overlooked for other geographic locations.  This is why ancotel is committed to establish 1025 Old Country Road in Westbury, NY as the preferred gateway to Europe’s number one telehouse.

“We have been looking at the U.S. data center market for quite some time now,” comments K.-J. Orth, Managing Director of ancotel GmbH and Chief Marketing Officer of ancotel USA, LLC.  “With this acquisition, our proven expertise will enable this facility, located in the most eastern point in the United States, to offer direct interconnectivity to and between trans-Atlantic, Caribbean and Latin American submarine cable systems as well as leading nationwide and global network operators. As a result, ancotel USA will usher in a new dimension of global network interconnection capabilities.”

ancotel will unveil its plans for its colocation and interconnection facility at 1025 Old Country Road, Westbury, New York on Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 10:00am EDT at a press conference on-site.  To access the press conference virtually, please click here or go to http://www.jaymiescotto.com/ancotel.php.  For more information about ancotel, please visit www.ancotel.com.  For information about the press conference and to attend in person or virtually, please contact pr@jaymiescotto.com.

Portrush- A Northern Ireland Town Making Global Headlines- Again

Posted by Jaymie Scotto on June 22nd, 2010

Ever visit a rural town where few tourists tread and then, coincidentally, the name of the town seems to appear in your news headlines, over and over again?

HiberniaIt was literally one year today that Hibernia Atlantic, JS&A and members of the local media gathered in Portrush, one of the most northern towns on the tip of Northern Ireland. We were there to welcome Hibernia Atlantic’s next-generation, high capacity TransAtlantic cable that was literally being pulled ashore at Portrush to connect Northern Ireland to North America.

As per the telecom headlines, this new, modern cable network is indeed news worthy – as it adds additional and much needed capacity to support local and global companies. The transAtlantic pipe will connect 13 local towns and connect through to Dublin and Europe as well.GFN

The additional connectivity will allow businesses to increase their communications and next-gen Internet service offerings as well as increase their access to a larger marketplace of available service providers. Visit www.hiberniaatlantic.com for more.

This weekend, Portrush got another spotlight cast upon the town as Graeme McDowell, a 30-year old pro golfer from Portrush, won the 110th US Open in Pebble Beach.

Graeme McDowell of Northern IrelanA Northern Islander has never won this golf championship and in fact, McDowell is the first European in 40 years to capture the U.S. Open title.

And as per WorldGolf.com, this recent exposure is calling the town of Portrush “a can’t-miss stop on your next Northern Ireland golf vacation.”

So congrats to Mr. McDowell and all the folks in the lovely town of Portrush. Here’s to a town that continues to make global headlines- and continues to serve as a connection point for North America and Europe.
