WEBZILLA Opens Window to Multiple Hosted Operating Systems; Windows Joins Linux and FreeBSD for Managed Enterprise Hosting(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dallas (PRWEB) February 06, 2013 WEBZILLA, a world leader in premium enterprise hosting, today announced availability of Microsoft Windows Server as a managed service, in addition to Linux and the Unix-based FreeBSD, for its managed hosting customers. "The large and growing Windows and Linux network ecosystems each offers distinct advantages for customers of managed enterprise hosting," said XBT Holding CTO Konstantin Bezruchenko. "WEBZILLA has grown to be a trusted provider of high-performance hosting and network solutions by ensuring that our customers always have the optimum hardware and software for their environments. Today's announcement reflects our commitment to flexibility by letting customers choose the managed operating system that best fits their needs." "IDC reports that Microsoft Windows has grown to be 47.9% of Q2 2012 server revenue vs. 22.1% for Linux," commented Rajesh Kumar Mishra, CFO XBT Holding.* "There is increasing demand for managed Windows among key WEBZILLA business segments, including e-commerce, foreign exchange and other financial services. Most dedicated hosting providers offer only one or two managed operating systems. We offer three because extending WEBZILLA's award-winning infrastructure to Windows helps us better serve our customers and is strategic in continuing our rapid growth and addressing new markets." The managed Windows server platform brings the benefits of full Windows compatibility along with the high performance, security and reliability that distinguish WEBZILLA. WEBZILLA customers will now be able to natively run popular software such as Microsoft Exchange, Outlook and SharePoint, SQL and Access, ASP.net, and C+ and Visual Basic. The new platform is available immediately to WEBZILLA customers. Certified WEBZILLA technicians will configure the operating system, handle updates, and provide ongoing monitoring, freeing customers from having to dedicate administrator resources. WEBZILLA is teaming with Insight, Inc., a Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner under Microsoft's Services Provider License Agreement program, for the managed Windows server service.
