San Jose, California - (The Hosting News) - December 19, 2008 - Managed technology services firm, Global Netoptex, Inc. (GNi), has been selected by music community provider Music Mogul Inc. to host the historical release of the first online music virtual world that allows music lovers worldwide to perform for a global audience and potentially be discovered by an industry recognized talent team.

Music Mogul Inc. is the groundbreaking project of a highly talented team including game veteran Nicholas Longano and Grammy Award winning producer Rodney ”Darkchild” Jerkins, who has worked with such artists as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears and Mary J. Blige. This fully interactive virtual world delivers an immersive music environment with the twist of bringing the virtual world in to the live world through talent discovery and a competition to win a three song demo deal every 90 days with Mr. Jerkins’ Darkchild Productions.

Nicholas Longano, CEO and Founder of Music Mogul Inc. remarked, ”We chose GNi to be our infrastructure provider because of their deep experience in the gaming industry and the willingness of their executive team from the beginning to work closely with us while we were producing this project. Our expectations are high that this project is going to create a substantial audience quickly through word of mouth and by its unique nature, so we needed a company that could scale quickly and provide an outstanding user experience.”

Philip Bouchard, CEO of GNi remarked, ”GNi is thrilled to be a part of this groundbreaking project to create a dedicated music community and unite the virtual and real world. We are pleased that Music Mogul Inc. entrusted our extensive experience working with high expectation projects like theirs to insure a strong and successful launch on GNi’s well-proven infrastructure as a service platform.”

With the massive growth of online virtual communities, GNi continues to see increasing demand for high-performance, low - latency games infrastructure. With the traditional do-it-yourself model, virtual communities and game developers had to struggle to meet that demand via risky capital expenditure. IaaS gives game companies flexibility through the elimination of the need to purchase servers, software, data center space or network equipment.

Music Mogul, Inc. (www.musicmogul.com/) will be the first online music world with a new and unique platform to find the hottest new superstars. This online destination is set to make a mark on the music industry and social networks with a ground-breaking design and interactive music experience for music fans, undiscovered artists, and celebrity artists alike. For the first time, social networkers can experience the music lifestyle through an online living music world. Set to alter the face of music engagement through a rich interactive world, Music Mogul, Inc. represents an entirely browser-based online music destination both where celebrity artists can unite with their fans and undiscovered artists have a chance for discovery to become the next superstars!

GNi offers Infrastructure as a Service solutions for leaders in online games, software-as-a-service, Web 2.0, and online digital media. In online games alone, GNi’s infrastructure supports more than 20 million users, nearly 500,000 concurrent connected users at peak, and more than 27 titles. GNi delivers rapid scalability with uncompromised performance, on a ”pay as you grow” model, in the most demanding online environment. Its service offerings enable rapid on-boarding and deployment for customers in swiftly evolving marketplaces. GNi is headquartered in San Jose, California with infrastructure facilities located around the world.

New York, New York - (The Hosting News) - March 30, 2009 - Software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider specializing in messaging and collaboration solutions, Intermedia, has unveiled a new set of Exchange Hosting plans designed specifically for entrepreneurial ventures.

Danny Essner, Director of Marketing for Intermedia remarked, ”For small and new businesses, email is often the first line of communication with customers and therefore highly critical to growth and success. The need for constant uptime and instant wireless access to email and data is punctuated for businesses starting up in a struggling economy and we are happy to lend to their success.”

The plans combine a single Microsoft Exchange/Outlook mailbox with wireless synchronization for a BlackBerry smartphone, Apple iPhone or Windows Mobile device. Within the current economic downturn, Intermedia has seen a growing number of experienced professionals leaving their former careers to leverage their skills in new consultancy practices or other entrepreneurial ventures. After relying heavily on the collaborative and wireless functionality of Microsoft Exchange in previous jobs, these new entrepreneurs want the same for their new businesses. Intermedia’s new plans cater exclusively to this need and in turn help these new businesses thrive.

Joseph Schohl, President of GeneralCounselWest noted, ”Having worked at multiple Fortune 500 companies, most recently as general counsel, I wanted, for my own new business, the same full collaboration and BlackBerry functionality that I was used to. Intermedia’s one-mailbox plan was the perfect solution - I get all of the features I want without having to overspend for users I don’t yet have. It allows me to be highly responsive to my clients in a competitive environment.”

For $20 per month, users will have access to one hosted Exchange mailbox with BlackBerry wireless synchronization. For iPhone and Windows Mobile users, plans cost $15 per month and come with one hosted Exchange mailbox with Exchange ActiveSync wireless synchronization. All plans are backed by Intermedia’s 99.999% uptime guarantee and include 24×7x365 support.

Founded in 1995, Intermedia is the leading provider of business email including Microsoft Exchange hosting to the small and medium business market. Intermedia specializes in providing enterprise-grade solutions through its world class infrastructure and service to small and medium businesses at a price they can afford.

There are 2 different types of hosting accounts that webmasters can purchase, shared and dedicated. The main difference between the two is that the dedicated enables a webmaster to lease an entire web server for exclusive use, while with the shared, the server space is shared with other customers. The dedicated provides the exclusive use of a server and state-of-the-art connection options.
