Oct 15, 2002 : Sphera launches HostingBusiness Suite


📅 - Sphera Corporation (sphera.com), a developer of hosting automation and management software, today announced the launch of HostingBusiness Suite, a complete out-of-the-box solution that empowers hosting providers with full business functionality built into an open, scalable architecture.

"HostingBusiness Suite is the result of extensive feedback from our hosting customers and their resellers," said Sphera CEO Tamar Naor. "This new solution gives hosting and network providers a complete and flexible mission-critical solution that enables them to expand their business incrementally and economically."
Sphera's suite enables Web hosting providers to differentiate their service offerings, grow customer satisfaction and revenue, and reduce expenses, all while providing greater value to the entire hosting supply chain, which includes the data center, Web hosting providers, resellers and Web site owners.
The suite enables shared and dedicated environments running on Linux or Microsoft Windows to be managed from Sphera's ClusterDirector - a single easy-to-use control console. Through a user-friendly interface, Sphera reduces the technical complexity of Web hosting and reselling that, in turn, significantly reduces service calls.
The launch of Sphera's HostingBusiness Suite includes two new fast-to-deploy and easy-to-use modules, ResellerDirector and ServerManagement Director, designed for the lucrative reseller and mid-sized business markets.
ResellerDirector serves the hosting reseller segment and completes Sphera's existing Reseller Control Panel offering, empowering resellers with the industry's only end-to-end solution designed to help cost-effectively scale their businesses. By offering resellers billing packages, service package management, resource and server management, reporting and account management functionality with a usability-tested interface, the software enables profitability within the hosting reseller business model.
ServerManagement Director enables hosting providers to generate additional revenue from mid-sized business customers, who require-and are willing to invest in-solutions that provide greater functionality and control. With Sphera's self-provisioning applications, rich, high-end resources and services, and user-friendly server administration, ServerManagement Director offers the functionality this market segment needs to take control of its Web business.
"The mass market of hosting has become increasingly commoditized. To compete effectively, providers must find ways to strengthen their brand, easily add new shared and managed dedicated customers, and reduce costs," said Joshua Beil, VP Research & Development at Tier 1 Research, a research and consulting firm covering the Internet Infrastructure Software and Services industry. "With reselling comprising 30-50 per cent of the Web hosting mass-market, a complete hosting management solution must also facilitate reseller business operations. Sphera offers an extremely robust and user-friendly solution for the reseller market, enabling Web hosting providers to turn reselling into a profitable business while allowing resellers to differentiate their offerings in this competitive market."
