ThePlanet Announces Expansion Of Dallas Datacenter
Houston, Texas – June 27, 2008 – The Planet privately held dedicated hosting company, has initiated expansion of its Dallas D6 data center, for an additional 12,000 square feet added to the company’s operations.
Jeff Lowenberg, Vice President of Facilities at The Planet noted, ”As energy costs continue to climb, operating our data centers at peak performance is absolutely critical, both to our company and to our customers. Our goal is to use best practices and a practical approach to optimize our operations.”
Bringing The Planet’s total data center footprint to 167,000 square feet, the company expects the new data center to open in November. The company operates six data centers, with four located in Dallas and two in Houston. The new space will feature an enhanced energy-efficient design that utilizes improved measures to completely separate hot and cold air. The company expects to improve the data center ‘coefficient of efficiency’ to approximately 1.5. The coefficient of efficiency is an EPA- and Uptime Institute-recognized measurement of the total power necessary to operate a data center divided by its critical power, which is the energy required to operate its computers. An ‘ideal’ ranking is 1.6.
The enhanced energy-efficient measures include extending the returns of the computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units through the ceiling and utilizing the space above the ceiling as a return air path. By using CPI (Chatsworth Products Inc.) ducted exhaust cabinets in the new phase, The Planet is taking the next steps beyond traditional ‘hot aisle-cold aisle’ setups to completely isolate the hot and cold air in the data center. Ultimately, The Planet endeavors to provide the following:
- High level of network capacity and speed to deliver peak performance
- Instant scalability to handle even the largest spikes in network traffic
- Parallel, redundant, multi-tiered network routing and switching architecture to assure reliability and stability
- Multiple layer network security that prevents Delayed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks from harming businesses
- Knowledgeable experts with a passion for excellence and a commitment to operate the best networks in the business
The Planet is a leading provider of On Demand IT Infrastructure solutions, hosting more than 22,000 small and medium size businesses and 6.7 million web sites worldwide, using the best choice of servers, software tools and support, backed by state-of-the-art facilities and network connectivity.

Supported247 Launches Total Care Services
London, United Kindgom - June 26, 2008 – IT Support Solutions firm, Supported247.com, has debuted the launch of its Total Care service, designed as a fixed fee, full proactive monitoring support package, for the small and medium sized companies.
The package provides its clients with their own virtual IT Department. The service fee includes: All remote support, on-site support, access to technicians Monday – Friday 08:00 to 20:00, 24 hour access to the help desk via the web Full Pro|Active monitoring of all systems, System and security patch management, and 24 hour access to technical assistance available.
Adam Tachauer-Yates, Technical Services Director noted, ”Aimed at companies with little or no IT Support, Total Care has been developed to provide clients with their own IT Department. If you had your own IT Department you would not pay them extra for leaving their desk to visit a user, you would expect your IT Department to monitor and manage your IT services within the cost and not charge you any more for doing their job. Total Care is the same. The fixed monthly fee includes all support both remote and on-site and allows our customers to budget with certainty which is very important in today’s financial climate.”
The majority of support companies do not include on-site support within their fee and make additional charges when engineers attend site to resolve issues.
Mr. Tachauer-Yates added, ”Given the choice between fixed price and hourly rate most SME’s will opt for a fixed price service contract. We have complete confidence in our ability to resolve our clients’ issues quickly and efficiently and therefore offer fixed fee support contracts that include all onsite support. Developing our own tools to support our clients when there are fantastic tools on the market today would have been an unnecessary cost that ultimately would be passed on to our clients.”
Supported247.com engages tools in the industry to monitor and support systems. The Total Care Service is available on a 12 month contract, guaranteed by a Service Level Agreement and costs from 210.00 pounds per month for a 5 computer network with 1 server (subject to terms and conditions).
Supported247.com provides a range of IT Services to small and medium sized companies in London and Kent. The services include IT Support Services, Remote Backup Solutions, Web Hosting Solutions including hosted Exchange and SharePoint. Supported247.com’s offices and engineers are based in London and Kent, along with the help desk and data centres.
