receive a rich set of benefits, including access, training and support, giving
them a competitive advantage in the channel.

innovator in .NET hosting, DiscountASP.NET is one of a few hosts to launch
Windows 2008 shared hosting. DiscountASP.NET custom-built their hosting

Application Pool Pipeline Mode chooser tool and IIS7 Manager Permissions tool
for Windows 2008 hosting customers.
"As a hosting provider that focuses 100% on Windows-based shared web hosting, we
are extremely proud to join the expert group of hosts that have attained the
Security Solutions competency in the Microsoft Partner Program." said Takeshi

As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status,
DiscountASP.NET had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies
are designed to help differentiate a partner's capabilities with specific
Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution.
Each competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits, formulated to
accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the
technology industry. DiscountASP.NET attained the Advanced Infrastructure
Solutions and Networking Infrastructure competency to qualify for the Microsoft
Gold Certified Partner level in 2006. The Security Solutions competency is
DiscountASP.NET's third Microsoft competency.
The Security Solutions Competency is designed to recognize the unique skills and
requirements of partners specializing in delivering security-based solutions.
Microsoft Gold Certified Partners enrolled in this competency have proved their
skill in advanced security solutions to help protect customer information assets
by building solutions such as security management and operations,
security-enhanced wireless VPN and perimeter, and identity and access management
solutions. Specializations within the competency include Infrastructure Security
and Security Management.
"Security is a priority for Microsoft, and we rely on our partners to help us
deliver security-based solutions to our customers," said Thomas Dawkins, group
product manager responsible for security partner strategy at Microsoft Corp. "As
customers continue to automate business processes, solutions competencies such
as this one enable our partners to better identify and showcase their security
solutions skills to respond to increasing customer demands to better secure
their infrastructure."
The Microsoft Partner Program was launched in October 2003 and represents
Microsoft's ongoing commitment to the success of partners worldwide. The program
offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner
expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology
marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners' businesses be successful.
