The Planet Launches API
2008-11-19
HOUSTON, Nov. 18, 2008 ? The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting,
today launched a new Application Programming Interface (API) that extends the
management capabilities of Planet Alpha dedicated hosting customers. The API
allows customers to integrate functionality of The Planet?s Orbit customer
portal into their own internal systems and applications.
Customers and resellers can now extend their internal management systems, tools
and portals to automatically manage their hosted infrastructure without manual
human intervention.
?We offer our Planet Alpha customers a number of ways to manage their own hosted
environments, whether through our customer portal, our 24/7 support, or via
self-service options such as KVM-over-IP or remote reboots,? said Urvish Vashi,
The Planet?s general manager for dedicated servers. ?With the Orbit API, we?re
extending the self-service capabilities of our customers, giving them greater
automation and control over their hosted servers. The API is available to all
customers at no additional charge, which adds significant value on top of our
world-class support, network and data centers.?
