HOUSTON (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) February 28, 2007 --
The Planet, now the world’s largest privately
held dedicated hosting company, today announced the availability of the
Dell PowerEdge 2900 based on Intel’s new
Clovertown quad-core technology. The new systems offer customers one of
the most powerful servers in the industry. Available in the company’s
six world-class data centers in both Houston and Dallas, the servers are
the newest and most powerful in the company’s
product portfolio.
Using the Clovertown quad-core technology and 10 disk drives, the Dell
2900 maximizes processing performance. The large storage capacity and
high-performance processing power are essential for multiple dynamic
websites, high-transaction e-commerce sites, databases and massive
multi-player gaming.
“Performance and storage are critical
requirements for my business, particularly since we operate multiple,
high-traffic Web sites with peak periods that require significant power
and storage,” said Brian Dhatt, chief
technology officer for Sugar Publishing. Dhatt’s
company operates the Sugar Network, one of the most comprehensive online
communities for women. With more than two million unique visitors a
month, sites include www.PopSugar.com,
www.FabSugar.com, www.BuzzSugar.com,
www.YumSugar.com, www.FitSugar.com,
www.GeekSugar.com, www.GiggleSugar.com,
www.DearSugar.com and www.TeamSugar.com.
“The recent Academy Awards served as one of
our peak periods, when our servers were operating to accommodate record
customer page visits,” said Dhatt. “These
servers offer a great addition to accommodate our anticipated growth
during this year’s spring and summer fashion
season.”
“With the growth of e-commerce, processing
power and storage represent enormous challenges for every business,”
said The Planet’s Vice President of Marketing
Steve Kahan. “Huge data stores,
graphic-intensive content and high-volume payment processing require
powerful server technology. With the Dell PowerEdge 2900, we offer our
SMB customers enterprise-level processing power and tremendous storage
capacity. Coupled with our network reliability and bandwidth, The Planet
provides an on demand IT infrastructure for small businesses that rivals
any enterprise organization.”
