The Planet Launches Virtual Rack Bundles
2008-12-10
Pre-Configured Solutions Offer Scalability, Flexibility
HOUSTON, Dec. 9, 2008 The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting,
today announced the availability of its new Virtual Rack Solution Bundles,
pre-configured solutions for environments with two or more servers. Available in
three package types, the bundles feature tiered components designed to meet
various business requirements, from basic to advanced. The solution is ideal for
customers who require a scalable, flexible infrastructure to accommodate rapid
growth.
Virtual Rack Solution Bundles are available in three configurations that
simplify the purchasing process:
• The Essential Bundle includes two powerful Intel quad-core servers and
business-class load balancing, which are ideal for mission-critical
applications.
• The Advanced Bundle features all the benefits of the Essential package, plus a
RAID 1 database server with 15,000RPM SAS drives for fast database access. It
includes advanced load balancing, which operates at three times the speed and
capacity as the Essential Bundle.
• The Performance Bundle is The Planets most robust solution. In addition to
the benefits of the Advanced Bundle, this solution includes an additional
quad-core Web server for a total of three servers, a fully managed and dedicated
Cisco ASA 5510SP firewall, as well as a wide array of managed services,
including server monitoring, security and backup.
Many SMBs require the ability to grow their hosted environments quickly and
easily, yet arent sure where to start, said Bryce Edwards, The Planets
general manager for complex infrastructure. With our new Virtual Rack Solution
Bundles, weve prepackaged three of our most popular virtual rack
configurations, making it an easy choice to meet particular business
requirements. All of our bundles feature drive-level redundancy, 1Gbps
connection speed and bandwidth pooling, and customers receive additional value
by taking advantage of low introductory pricing.
Through Dec. 31, The Planet is offering promotional pricing on its Virtual Rack
Solution Bundles. The Essential Bundle is priced at $801.55 per month, regularly
$943. The Advanced Bundle is available for $1,329.60 per month, a 20 percent
savings. The Performance Bundle is $2,048.85 per month, discounted more than 25
percent. For more information, visit

About Virtual Racks
Virtual racks enhance security, particularly for companies running advanced,
high-performance applications that require flexibility in multi-server
environments:
• Unlimited server-to-server transfer: Multiple servers within the same
virtual rack have unlimited connectivity so customers dont pay for bandwidth
between servers.
• Reduced risk of bandwidth overages: Virtual racks allow customers to
pool bandwidth across all servers in the environment. The Planet eliminates the
guessing game of which server will accumulate overages, only to find others
below their limit.
• Access to advanced security and hosting technologies: A complete
hosting solution for complex environments requires advanced firewalls and load
balancers. Virtual racks allow customers to take advantage of these solutions
across their multi-server applications.
