Jul, 2002 : XserveRack.com Introduces OS X-Based Hosting

📅 July 2, 2002 - Web application development provider machinemen (machinemen.com) announced on Tuesday, following the release of Apple's Xserve hardware, that it is introducing a new Mac OS X-based Web hosting service using the new rack-mount Apple hardware, called XserveRack.com (xserverack.com).

Based on the Mac OS X platform, says XserveRack.com, the new hosting packages are designed to offer enterprise-level solutions as well as competitive pricing for resellers.
"We thought it was time to do Mac OS X hosting the right way" said Bill Leonard, XserveRack.com's Internet systems engineer. "There are plenty of excellent Mac hosts out there, but the pricing isn?t really competitive with the rest of the hosting industry. We offer hosting on the platform they want, at a price competitive with any large hosting provider out there."
XserveRack.com says that, in addition to the industry standard PHP scripting language, its services can support Blue World's Lasso 5 Professional and will soon support ColdFusion MX, in order to use MySQL database software to deploy dynamic Web applications.

AT&T reportedly had 70 officials investigating KPNQwest's books in the past few weeks. The company pulled out of the bidding due to concerns over ow

📅 Jul 3, 2002 - Intel Prepares Release of Itanium 2 Processor - Chip manufacturer Intel Corp. (intel.com) is reportedly preparing for next week's release of its Itanium 2 chip, the follow-up to the company's original ill-fated effort at providing processors for the high-end server market dominated by Sun Microsystems.
