Alentus Corporation recently launches domain registrar business.

Alentus Corporation (PINKSHEETS: ALNS), a web hosting, domain registrar, dedicated server, colocation, and E-Commerce hosting provider, today is providing an update on its recently launched domain registrar business.

Alentus on March 18th announced the launch of its newly achieved domain registrar status. During these first 60 days the Company has catapulted in the last month from the dead last 950th position to the 148th fastest growing registrar worldwide as of today. You can follow the Company’s progress by looking up its stats on www.registrarstats.com and selecting the fastest growing registrars report. Please note that the Company’s registrar status is in the name of the Company’s Web Site Source brand name.

William King, CEO, stated, “So far we have been relying solely on the strength of our current brand website traffic with no specific advertising campaign for domain registration. We hope to be launching a sizable advertising campaign in the near future specifically focused on our www.LowPriceDomains.com brand with a goal to be in the top 50 growth list. The top grower is GoDaddy with typical monthly growth at more than 500,000 domains. We don’t expect to match that performance but even a fraction of that pace would have a very meaningful positive impact on our business.”

In addition to the revenue and profit generated from the typical recurring $10 annual domain fee, these customers are excellent candidates for purchasing additional related services such as web hosting. Web hosting has typical annual fees of more than $100 per customer so the upside revenue and profit potential is significant for each domain customer the Company adds.

Chicago Data Center joins the CoreLink Data Center portfolio.

A new Chicago Data Center joins the CoreLink Data Center portfolio. CoreLink Data Centers, LLC, a leading provider of high quality, Tier 3 Data Centers, with co-location facilities in Phoenix, Seattle and Las Vegas, announced today, that it has added a Chicago Data Center location in the suburb of Mt. Prospect. CoreLink has entered into a long term lease for an 81,600 square foot stand-alone building which is currently configured with 10,000 square feet of raised floor.

CoreLink will modify the existing infrastructure to bring it up to CoreLink’s typical 2N configuration with over 200 watts per square foot of usable UPS power. The design is flexible so that customers with higher density requirements can also be accommodated. The completed facility plan will accommodate up to 65,000 square feet of useable raised floor, providing ample space for expansion. The location in Mount Prospect is located outside the flood plain and all flight paths of nearby airports. It is ideally situated close to O’Hare Airport and is approximately 25 miles from downtown Chicago. CoreLink has secured over 16 MW of power for the facility.

CoreLink also announced that the Company’s Head Office will relocate to Chicago from Phoenix, effective immediately. In conjunction with that move, CoreLink further announces the hiring of Mr. Jay Sinder as CFO. Sinder comes to CoreLink from Hostway Corporation where he was CFO. Prior to Hostway, Sinder was CFO at Focal Communications where he was responsible, among other things, in structuring and securing both equity and long term debt financing for the Company. “Jay is a great addition to the Corelink team,”stated Geoff Hampson, CoreLink Data Center’s founder and CEO, “He brings in-depth knowledge of the industry and a track record of managing and financing successful growth stories”

In conjunction with the headquarters move to Chicago, Hampson will move there in March. Hampson has a long history of successful start-ups, including Peer 1 Network Enterprises Inc. where as CEO from 2000 through 2006, annual revenues grew from $250K to $80 Million. “We are building a strong team of managers with proven track records of value creation for all stakeholders” said Hampson. “Our move into the Midwest comes at a good time, when demand for co-location remains very strong and supply is limited. This is particularly true for the Chicago market where we are committed to making a large investment into this new facility, which will be our largest yet”.

CoreLink has an active M&A and Business Development program and anticipates further additions to its co-location facility locations and to the management team over the coming months and continuing for the next several years.

Equinix, Inc. provider of global data center services, opening of new International Business Exchange in Frankfurt and Dusseldorf.

Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today announced the opening of new International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in Frankfurt and Dusseldorf, together with plans to expand its existing Frankfurt-2 (FR2) center. The announcements come as Equinix continues its measured global development plan.

The phase I opening of the $30 million (€ 21 million) FR4 center, which is located in the southwestern region of Frankfurt, comprises 1,700 cabinet equivalents and 6,000 gross square meters (65,000 gross square feet) of data center space. The data center is being built out in multiple phases and, when complete, will total 12,000 square meters (130,000 square feet), with capacity for approximately 3,300 cabinet equivalents. Elsewhere, in the north of the city, the planned $18 million expansion of the FR2 IBX will add 2,500 square meters (27,000 square feet) of data center space, with capacity for approximately 660 cabinets. The FR2 IBX expansion will be completed in phases, between April and September 2010.

These expansions form part of Equinix’s wider strategy to increase data center capacity in Frankfurt, a major global trading hub where the company has seen significant growth in demand to participate in Equinix Financial eXchange. The Equinix Financial eXchange is a community of execution venues, buy and sell side firms and technology utilities that locate within Equinix data centers to optimize trading operations. Equinix now operates four data centers in Frankfurt, all of which are directly linked by redundant dark fiber, enabling all Frankfurt-based customers to interconnect as if they were in the same physical location.

“Equinix is seeing strong demand for colocation and interconnection services in Frankfurt, with significant growth coming from the city’s financial services industry,” said Eric Schwartz, president of Equinix in Europe. “Equinix’s Frankfurt IBX data centers are already a key destination for financial services firms wishing to improve their trading operations by directly connecting with their trading partners and utilizing low-latency links to other financial markets around the world. The new FR4 center, together with the planned expansion of FR2, will provide the capacity to grow this community even further.”

Equinix has also opened its new Dusseldorf-2 (DU2) IBX data center, adding 560 cabinets and 2,700 square meters (29,000 square feet) of gross data center space in Dusseldorf. Located southeast of the city, the new center will be tethered to Equinix’s original Dusseldorf IBX data center (DU1) through dark fiber links, enabling existing DU1 customers to seamlessly grow their data center operations.

This growth in German operations is part of Equinix’s $1.4 billion (€1.0billion) 2007-2010 global expansion plan.

“Demand for premier data center services continues to outpace supply across all major European metro regions,” continued Schwartz. “Equinix is focused on closing this gap between demand and supply and is committed to expanding its capacity, by both building new data centers and systematically upgrading existing ones.”

new cloud computing platform called FlexSafe Cloud, which will offer businesses and private entities the benefits of virtualization with the security of a private fiber network.

Dallas-based Horizon Data Center Solutions has launched a new cloud computing platform called FlexSafe Cloud, which will offer businesses and private entities the benefits of virtualization with the security of a private fiber network. Horizon, which works with enterprise businesses, small to medium sized businesses, and government agencies, has been expanding rapidly, both with IT services and data center colocation and disaster recovery services. FlexSafe Cloud is the latest in a series of flexible, scalable service offerings that Horizon has introduced. The company has grown exponentially as both a data center and managed services company. The company is privately held.Dallas, Texas- Horizon Data Center Solutions, a leading data center and IT flexsourcing firm serving businesses and government agencies with colocation, disaster recovery and managed IT services, has launched its cloud computing solution, called FlexSafe Cloud.FlexSafe Cloud is a private, secure approach to cloud computing that meets the needs of organizations that want the flexibility, scalability and cost savings of virtualization, but that also require the security of a private computing platform.Our growing list of federal clients made it a logical decision to adopt the NIST working definition of the cloud
We believe that the large public cloud providers like Amazon and Google have done an excellent job of supporting the testing and development world, so there’s no need for us to pursue the public cloud. For government and enterprise clients, private clouds are where we can add significant valueFlexSafe Cloud is part of Horizon’s strategy to fill a gap in the marketplace by providing flexible, full-service IT outsourcing options that can serve the enterprise client as well as small and medium sized businesses. The company pioneered the concept with its DCFlexSpace colocation model and has continued to expand available IT services to meet client demand.Horizon says the FlexSafe Cloud delivers immediate benefits for Software as a Service (SaaS) companies, e-commerce businesses with applications that experience fluctuating transaction volumes, financial firms, government agencies, and other entities that want the greater efficiencies and cost savings of virtualization without giving up security.Chuck Smith, Executive Vice President with Horizon and the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, says that, while the industry debates the actual definition of cloud computing, Horizon has adopted the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) working definition, with its key characteristics of on-demand self-service, ubiquitous network access, ability to rapidly scale resources and pay on a measured-usage basis.”Our growing list of federal clients made it a logical decision to adopt the NIST working definition of the cloud,” says Smith.
Smith says the FlexSafe Cloud is highly scalable and based upon Horizon’s Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. Beginning with Tier III data centers, the Horizon IaaS solution is built on leading edge technology providers like Above Net, Cisco, F5 Networks and HP. The FlexSafe Cloud service is virtualized using VMware, and provides the High Availability (HA) performance and security levels required by enterprise data center customers. HDCS currently has two DFW area data centers, providing fast, reliable data backup and replication solutions.
“We believe that the large public cloud providers like Amazon and Google have done an excellent job of supporting the testing and development world, so there’s no need for us to pursue the public cloud. For government and enterprise clients, private clouds are where we can add significant value,” Smith says. The company will also offer community cloud solutions for entities with multiple businesses.
Horizon CEO, Lance A. Smith adds, “Our current clients appreciate our highly secure, reliable data center infrastructure and have asked us to provide this service. We are pleased to extend our relationships with them, while at the same time offering an option that represents our continued charge to fill the gap in the IT outsourcing market between the very large, global IT outsourcing companies and traditional hosting companies. With the FlexSafe Cloud option, the latest development in our fast-paced growth strategy, Horizon continues to be among the leaders in the data center market.”
