[November 16, 2004]
Newest
Version of Ensim Pro Demonstrates Significant Product
Enhancements Based on an Extensible Architecture
Sunnyvale, Calif., November 16, 2004- Ensim announces
immediate availability of Ensim Pro 4.0 for Windows,
the next major release of Ensim's flagship hosting automation
product. Ensim Pro 4.0 for Windows, built natively on
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and based on an extensible
platform, delivers a significantly enhanced new user
interface, expanded portfolio of applications and a
capability to offer additional applications and services.
Ensim Pro 4.0 for Windows was built natively on Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 and is the fourth generation hosting
automation solution for the Microsoft Windows platform;
it adheres closely to the guidelines in Microsoft's
Solution for Windows-based Hosting. This newest version
of Ensim Pro for Windows comes pre-installed with the
Microsoft .NET Framework, and has built-in support for
a variety of core Microsoft products and technologies,
including Internet Information Services 6.0, Windows
Server 2003 FTP Service, Microsoft Domain Name Service
(DNS) server, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine
(MSDE 2000) and FrontPage Server Extensions.
The
redesigned user interface in Ensim Pro 4.0 for Windows
was developed as a result of extensive interaction with
customers, resellers and site owners. The result is
a compelling new interface that limits the number of
required clicks to accomplish key tasks, and provides
one-click access to the most commonly used operations
and information.
Ensim
Pro 4.0 for Windows, with its extensible framework,
provides integration to Ensim Power Tools and Ensim
Ignite, a suite of productivity tools that can easily
be deployed by service providers. Ensim Power Tools
offers a portfolio of applications and services such
as blogging, bulletin board and photo album management.
Ensim Ignite provides value-added services for site
owners, including payment systems, email marketing,
and search engine optimization. With these pre-bundled
applications and services, Ensim Pro 4.0 for Windows
provides an unprecedented way for service providers
to offer rich hosting plans to their customers and add
new applications and services in the future.
"Ensim
Pro 4.0 is an integral part of our market strategy to
grow our Windows hosting business," said Chris
Silkman, business manager at OLM, LLC. "The sophistication
and extensibility of the Ensim Pro control panel enables
us to create and launch new offerings to our diversified
customer base. There's absolutely nothing else like
it on the market today."
Major
new features in Ensim Pro 4.0 for Windows include:
- Enhanced
domain management that supports parked domains and
subdomains

migration tools provide service providers with site
preview before DNS is resolved to ensure compatibility
