Ensim Announces First Web Hosting Control Panel for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 [1st July 2003]

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 1, 2003 –Ensim Corporation, the global leader in hosting automation software, today announced the industry’s first control panel for shared hosting on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 platform. Ensim WEBppliance Pro is the only solution to bring professional level hosting capabilities to Windows 2003, enabling service providers to host Web sites created with ASP.NET and applications developed in the .Net framework. Combined with the capabilities offered by the Windows 2003 platform, WEBppliance Pro gives hosters the tools necessary to successfully build and manage multiple Web sites, reliably and profitably.

“ServerBeach is committed to providing our Windows customers with the latest technology from Microsoft,” said Richard Yoo, the big kahuna at ServerBeach. “With this new release, we expect that Ensim WEBppliance Pro will continue to exceed the high expectations of our customers.”

“Ensim has always offered its customers the highest level of professional-grade software,” said Steve Dauber, vice president of marketing at Ensim Corporation. “By supporting Windows 2003, we are again leading the industry in offering a breadth of solutions that meet the needs of all customers today.”

Professional High-Availability

Ensim WEBppliance Pro for Windows 2003 offers a new level of professional capabilities for high-availability Web site hosting. These include:

· Web site isolation: All the scripts and applications for each Web site run in their own isolated application pool. This prevents failures in one Web site from affecting others, increasing reliability.

· Guaranteed quality of service: Hosters can limit the total amount of CPU memory and bandwidth consumed by each Web site. This prohibits any one site from hoarding server resources and reducing the performance of other sites.

· Fault tolerance: The scripts and applications for each Web site are automatically monitored and restarted if they fail or begin to consume excessive resources. This new feature ensures that they are always available, even if they contain memory leaks or other bugs that cause the applications to crash periodically.

Professional Supportability

Ensim WEBppliance Pro is the only control panel designed specifically for supportability, significantly diminishing the time and expertise typically required to manage Web sites. The user interface has been completely redesigned by one of the industry’s top Web design firms to project a professional image as well as ensure ease of use. It is also the only solution to include a Web hosting primer and full online help reducing the number of support calls and enabling novice site owners to easily use the system.

Professional Security

With its own virtual private file system, Ensim WEBppliance Pro is the only control panel to protect each Web site on a shared server, providing complete security for site content. It also prevents site owners from viewing any files outside their own site, protecting all sites hosted on the same shared server. This level of security prevents unauthorized access and theft, site reconfiguration, and site downtime.

Pricing and Availability

Ensim WEBppliance Pro for Windows 2003 is now available. It can be purchased starting at $259.00 directly from Ensim’s Web site and Ensim partners worldwide.
