automated Web hosting software, announced today its “Migration Express,” a
service for Plesk customers that is designed to let them migrate from other
vendors’ legacy control panels onto the Plesk Server Administrator (PSA)
platform for improved server-infrastructure economics.
The Migration Express is combined of advanced software tools and
professional services. As part of Plesk’s introductory promotion for its
customers, users of Ensim’s WEBppliance for Linux® can immediately quality
for free professional services – giving them the fastest and most effective
migration path available to the dominant hosting automation platform.
Throughout the year, Plesk will roll out other Migration Express packages
and promotions for the Sphera HostingDirector, Sun Cobalt(TM) RaQ3 and RaQ4
appliances, and other control panels.
“In keeping with our customer-first philosophy, we developed Migration
Express in response to the requests from customers and prospects who are
eager to make the move from WEBppliance to PSA,” said George Pappas,
president and CEO of Plesk. “After a thorough analysis of the requirements,
Migration Express represents the most comprehensive collection of tools and
professional services designed explicitly to help these data center
professionals rapidly realize a greater ROI on their server
infrastructures.”
“We found that PSA provided us with the superior ease-of-use that we were
able to pass along to our customers,” said Richard Culp, network engineer at
Delaware.net. “In terms of ease of installation, ease of customer use and
ease of navigation, PSA was the hands-down winner over Ensim’s WEBppliance.
We have been much happier since we moved to Plesk.”
