Modular, Redundant, Multi-Flex- wha?

Friday, April 11th, 2008

As any long time visitor of our site knows, we’ve recently been unusually abuzz about our new Multi-Flex servers. If you’ve Googled Intel’s new Multi-Flex systems, you’ve surely gotten plenty of useless tech garble.

Multi-Flex server hosting
What this means for you is actually simple- a hosting platform virtually void of even the potential of any hardware-related downtime.Opting away from all of the overcomplicated “grid” platforms in the past, year that have been notorious for software explosions and at minimum, overcomplicated for the most simple of tasks.

Multi-Flex back of server

By going redundant at the hardware level with the Intel Modular Multi-Flex server, we’re above to maximize uptime, and paired with the fantastic cluster scalability of InterWorx, we’ve prepared to host the most successful of websites.

Official Press Release: Ubiquity Adopts Intel’s Modular Multi-Flex Server Platform


Ubiquity Announces New Services with Ubiquity 2.0

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Bloomington, Illinois (May 1st, 2007): Ubiquity Server Solutions (www.ubiquityservers.com), provider of dedicated hosting, collocation, and VPS solutions, has announced a complete revision of its services. With the launch of a new website this week has come the addition of dedicated hosting and collocation services upon previous options to now include Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, Chicago, and New York City.

“We found that the needs of companies who support latency-critical applications had for too long been left unmet.” said Ubiquity’s Network Engineer Chris Donnelly. “Through a consistent product in diverse locations with immediate proximity to carriers and peers, we are able to make these systems administrators’ dream come alive.”

The new locations are indeed consistent and directed towards those with strong latency demands. Every Ubiquity data center has been strategically located at the nearest possible geographical location to their carrier partner (Mzima Networks) and peering providers to eliminate added latency incurred by long-haul transit fiber. When paired with the Force10 smart-routing technology utilized by Mzima, as well as the company’s massive list of peers, Ubiquity has formed a specialized service with a unique attention to detail.

In addition to the unveiling of diverse collocation and dedicated server locations, Ubiquity has brought forward a complete managed hosting model, with an extra emphasis on their large clustered hosting solutions. The company’s proprietary online client interface (UbiquityNOC), has also been completely renovated with a long list of new features including a variety of RRD Graphs and online rDNS configuration, to go live later this month.

Ubiquity enters LA, Seattle, New York

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

Bloomington, Illinois (January 18, 2007)– Ubiquity Server Solutions (ubiquityservers.com), provider of dedicated servers, colocation, and VPS hosting solutions, has announced its plans to offer its diverse array of services in Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York this month, expanding upon existing service offerings in Chicago and Dallas.

In order to deliver consistent high-performance services across all locations, Ubiquity has partnered with Mzima Networks (mzima.net), which operates a native 10 Gbps backbone with over 100 Gbps of transit and peering capacity. Mzima connects to multiple Tier-1 network providers and maintains extensive private peering with domestic and international broadband networks. Ubiquity’s recently appointed support engineer Mike Miller commented on the expansion:

“Don’t be fooled, the new locations aren’t really about diversity – they’re about consistency. We want our clients to feel comfortable knowing they can expect the same options, same reliability, and the same friendly support staff everywhere. We want them to expect the same solid, route-optimized network, running from the local technology hub of each major city to guarantee the lowest possible local latency and reliability which squares with our 100% uptime service level agreements.”

In order to pre-empt the expected increase in demand for the company’s newest locations, Ubiquity has stated that they will likely be selective about which customers can receive services in Seattle, Los Angeles and New York until at least the end of January – limiting first availability to early adopters and previous clients before all services are made public.

“We are excited that Ubiquity has selected Mzima to handle their existing and anticipated traffic growth,” stated Michael Dell’Anno, VP of Sales with Mzima Networks. “The resiliency and scalability of the Force10-powered Mzima backbone enhances their value proposition with their prospective and existing clients by incorporating the highest quality IP connectivity available in the marketplace today.”

Ubiquity Enters the Virtual Private Server Industry

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Bloomington, Illinois (October 20, 2006) - Ubiquity Server Solutions (www.ubiquityservers.com), provider of dedicated and collocation hosting, has announced that it will be entering into the virtual dedicated server industry this month.

When asked for a statement, Ubiquity’s Chief Marketing Officer Corey Northcutt commented:

“This has really been a long time coming. For years now our company has made a significant name in shared and dedicated hosting, it was simply time to fill in the gap between those offerings. We’re jumping in full-steam too - for all of the VPS clients that come to us over the first seven days, we’ll be giving out an entire free month of service.”

Ubiquity’s new virtual private server (VPS) service will utilize Virtuozzo - SW-Soft’s industry-leading platform for partitioning isolated virtual server environments from a single real server. This solution is one of very few which secures complete functional, fault, and performance isolation.

Although the initial features with this offering are somewhat limited, providing options for two operating systems and three control panels, the company has promised a substantial increase to the available options across the next 30 days.

Ubiquity Server Solutions releases UbiquityNOC

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Bloomington, Illinois (July 13, 2006) - After much anticipation, the 100% in-house developed UbiquityNOC server management application has been released by Ubiquity Server Solutions - the dedicated and collocation hosting unit of Ubiquity Hosting Solutions, LLP. With this new interface, Ubiquity clients can now utilize the common features of other high-end dedicated providers including management all of server information with a common interface, and commanding remote power controls for instant reboots in the event of a freeze-up.

In addition, the new UbiquityNOC has been made equip with advanced service monitoring capabilities. Through this fully-configurable interface, the NOC supplies automated service monitoring capabilities on par with many costly exclusive server management companies. In the event of a service failure, the UbiquityNOC can be configured to send notification immediately via email or text message. If the user chooses, the NOC can also step beyond popular monitoring services by executing pre-defined shell commands or a full system restart should a certain service fail.

When asked to comment, Chief Operating Officer for Ubiquity Corey Northcutt stated:

“After reviewing the mainstream software titles for data center management, we eventually decided that nothing on the market quite had the features that our members had been asking for. Clearly the only solution left was for us to build this new interface, and from how it’s shaped up, we’re very happy we did.”

Although it has not yet been stated where this project will inevitably lead, Ubiquity has made it clear that a number of new features and advancements are still on the way.

Carrier Mix Changed

In response to a feud between two of the largest internet backbone providers on the net (info here) which has left much of the internet in a blackout, we have altered our mix of carrier networks replacing our direct connection to Cogent to direct routing through nLayer (also with routing at Equinix). Network performance has continued on flawlessly.
