Feb 26, 2008 : PEER 1 Offers Free Developer Sandbox

📅 February 26, 2008 - Colocation and managed hosting provider PEER 1 Network Enterprises (peer1.com ) announced on Tuesday it has partnered with Microsoft (microsoft.com) to offer 50 free developer sandbox servers for a 30-day trial. Web developers can now try out a complete collection of Microsoft website development applications in a dedicated server environment.

"We are pleased to offer this great program that meets the needs of developers who want to explore new applications and ensure that they work well before exposing them in a production environment," says Robert Miggins, VP of business development for PEER 1. "With the sandbox servers we give developers the platform and tools they require to build applications, test, and deploy, all with a seamless experience."

The developer sandbox software comes pre-loaded into the sandbox server and is connected into PEER 1's extensive online network infrastructure. It offers support for IIS 6, .ASP.NET 2.0 and PHP 5, and provides design and management tools such as Microsoft Expression Studio, Microsoft Visual Studio Express Editions, Microsoft Silverlight and Microsoft SQL Server Standard 2005.

The companies invite developers to apply to participate in the sandbox, where approved developers will gain free root access to a server set up in PEER 1's San Antonio, Texas facility for 30 days with no contract and no obligation. At the end of the free trial, developers who decide to order a server will receive for free a Microsoft tool package, including Microsoft Expression Web, Microsoft Expression Studio and Microsoft ASP.NET training.

Earlier this month, PEER 1 hosted a networking evening at upscale lounge, Elevate, in downtown Los Angeles, California.
