hosting automation solutions, announced today that Canada’s largest hosting company,
Tera-Byte Online Services, has become a customer of Ensim’s flagship product,
ServerXchange(tm) 3.0, facilitating Tera-Byte’s phenomenal growth trajectory.
ServerXchange 3.0, the hosting industry’s first open hosting operations management
platform, offers centralized control of servers, applications, and appliances from a single
Web-based console. ServerXchange is unique in its support for heterogeneous software
and hardware environments. With ServerXchange 3.0, Tera-Byte can flexibly manage
scalable and heterogeneous data centers, reduce time-to-market for new hosted services,
build a profitable reseller channel, as well as enhance customer satisfaction while
lowering support costs – all contributing to the company’s projected 500-percent growth
for 2002.
“ServerXchange 3.0 captures the operating efficiencies with automated management that
will prove critical to our success going forward,” said Steve Keyser, president and CEO
of Tera-Byte. “The reseller capabilities of ServerXchange 3.0 allows us to launch our
channel on the turn of a dime, making an incredible contribution to the ROI of our
assets.”
“Tera-Byte’s deployment of ServerXchange 3.0 is a clear endorsement of the business
processes that we let even the largest hosting providers rapidly adopt for a competitive
advantage,” said Rosen Sharma, president and CEO of Ensim. “Tera-Byte has always
been a forerunner of innovation and customer responsiveness, and we expect to help them
continue in that direction.”
ServerXchange 3.0 will automate Tera-Byte’s Linux and Windows® NT environments,
and the hosting plans that run on them.
Using ServerXchange 3.0, Tera-Byte’s will be able to aggressively build a reseller
channel with Ensim’s Reseller Automation Suite. Tera-Byte will be able to offer
differentiated, private-label reseller services that are easy to scale profitably with self-
service and automation capabilities. Resellers benefit from a framework for defining and
provisioning plans, built-in online selling capabilities, automated customer billing and
management, as well as three-tier management that empowers the hosting provider, the
reseller and end-customer with extensive self-support.
Tera-Byte will also leverage Ensim’s Private Server technology. It partitions any Linux
or Solaris(tm) server into multiple Private Servers. Each Private Server has the same
security and isolation as a dedicated server. Private Servers are economical and reliable
for virtual and dedicated Web hosting, reseller hosting, e-commerce, intranet
collaboration and streaming. Private Server is ideal for entry-level hosting plans, and
affords seamless migration for fast-growing customers and resellers to premium
dedicated-server offerings.
Based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Tera-Byte (www. tera-byte.com) provides a wide
variety of services ranging from dedicated servers and shared hosting to Web design.
