2007-07-02, HostMan.biz
SoftLayer, a Texas-based internet service provider, yesterday announced that it has deployed cPanel update servers on the network inside its datacenter to accelerate cPanel installations and updates.
The company claims that the cPanel provides a management interface for Linux and BSD servers. The addition of the cPanel update servers directly addresses a portion of SoftLayer's customer base. One out of every four servers deployed at SoftLayer utilizes cPanel. SoftLayer's portfolio of onsite update servers already supported systems and applications from Microsoft, Redhat, McAfee and others.
"We're excited to provide this local service with the new release of cPanel 11," said Joshua Rushe, SoftLayer Director of Operations. "SoftLayer is one of cPanel's largest partners, and now one of a select number of datacenters around the world with an on-site cPanel update server." According to Mr. Rushe, having these update servers on the datacenter network will dramatically increase the speed of initial installation, licensing and provisioning. "With a local update repository like this, zero-day patches happen right awayour customers won't have to wait on the public cPanel peers anymore," he said. "Combined with our automated OS reload feature, cPanel servers can be re-purposed on demand. This is just another example of how we stay on top of, if not ahead of, all the tools for giving our customers more convenience and control."
