To use Zeus Traffic Manager 6.0, companies simply need to log on to the instance and configure it.

We’ve recently rolled out the full functionality offered by Zeus Traffic Manager 6.0 in the Amazon Web Services Cloud, as we feel it’s the best solution available to help us do exactly what we need. By scaling fast when needs arise, reducing page response times and data transfer costs, we’re able to keep our client’s hardware costs to a minimum while still providing a very high quality of service.”“We are pleased that Zeus is leveraging AWS to extend to their customers the Cloud infrastructure that addresses the integration, security, and performance needs that businesses require,” said Terry Wise, Director of Business Development for Amazon Web Services. “Amazon EC2 provides an ideal environment to help meet the demands of services like Zeus Traffic Manager, while providing on demand pricing that is cost efficient.”Paul Brennan, CEO, Zeus Technology comments, “Many enterprises need sophisticated web traffic management, particularly at the planning or production stages of web service development. Offering our solution on the Amazon Web Services Cloud gives customers the ability to tap into extra power for very little cost even during these early stages of development. Our unique software architecture addresses this need, making it an ideal fit for any application, whether they are currently operating in Amazon on EC2 or designed for future migration to the Cloud.”

The Budget range of Dedicated Servers offered by Easyspace is compiled from servers unsold prior to a specification upgrade. There are also servers still fit for purpose but no longer required by customers for one reason or another.
Easyspace, one of the leading providers of domain names and web hosting services in the UK, has announced the expansion of its budget dedicated server range. Offering a selection of competitive hosting solutionsincluding shared hosting, virtual servers and high specification dedicated servers, the budget range of dedicated servers are targeted specifically at those with
smaller budgets who still require a robust, feature rich server.
“We offer a number of high specification hosting solutions ranging in price from as little as £2.25 per month for our cheapest shared package. Having said that we appreciate that some people may require a dedicated hosting package, and may not have the budget to fund it. The expanded budget dedicated server range addresses that segment” comments Errol Vanderhorst, Managing Director for Easyspace. The Budget range of Dedicated Servers offered by Easyspace is compiled from servers unsold prior to a specification upgrade. There are also servers still fit for purpose but no longer required by customers for one reason or another.
Errol continued “We have various specifications of server racked up and ready to use and, since they don’t quite match up to our newest generation of dedicated server, we offer them at a lower cost. With that said, these are far from being low spec machines. They just aren’t as highly spec’d as our newer range.” The current range of budget dedicated servers is available from as little as £25.99 per month. With 6 specifications available, customers can choose from Pentium or Xeon processors, from DualCore or Quadcore, from 512MB RAM through to 4GB of RAM, from a single 80GB hard disk through to twin 250GB hard disks and various other features.Easyspace, established in and now part of the iomart group, offers a range of web related services from domain names, web hosting and email services through to virtual and dedicated servers and web design.
