May, 2009 : NEXCESS.NET Launches Secure Isolated Platform

📅 May 12, 2009 - SIP is an integrated selection of hardware and software optimized for security and performance and is focused around a third-party application.

NEXCESS.NET, LLC, a web hosting service provider, today announced that it has launched the Secure Isolated Platform (SIP). The company states that SIP is a tightly integrated selection of hardware and software, optimized for security and performance and focused around a third-party application. It adds that SIP hosting plans benefit from R1Soft's Continuous Data Protection (CDP) backup technology, among other security and performance features.

The company further says that the first line of SIP plans is focused on the popular Magento open-source ecommerce platform. It has a long-established relationship with Varien, maker of Magento, and has extensive expertise in configuring and hosting the Magento ecommerce software. It explains that each SIP-based hosting plan is hosted on a high-end Dell PowerEdge quad-core server, boasting up to 32 gigabytes of RAM and high-performance 15,000 RPM hard drives in RAID 10 configuration. SIP hosting servers also feature a variety of operating system optimizations that allow them to efficiently host the Magento software. Each server is backed up regularly using R1Soft's CDP technology.

''We've set up Magento sites for hundreds of customers since its inception, and we've invested a lot into optimizing our hosting environment for Magento - as well as targeting what other services Magento customers typically require,'' said Chris Wells, President of NEXCESS.NET. ''We decided to design a set of Magento hosting plans as our first SIP packages. These plans will include everything that someone interested in running a Magento-based online store needs.''
