WebCentral Moves Ahead with Windows Server 2003

Tags:
.net

Overview WebCentral already provides award-winning Web hosting services, but it wanted to stay ahead of the curve. The company wanted to provide its customers with a broader range of technical options, including ASP.NET Web Forms and interoperable XML Web Services, while remaining cost-effective. The key issue was ensuring that such technologies could be offered on a secure basis, and in a way that would enhance the reliability of the Web hosting environment. As a result, WebCentral upgraded to Microsoft Windows Server 2003. The enhanced scalability, security and reliability of the platform will allow WebCentral to run more than triple the number of sites per server, and save significant administration time managing fewer servers and resolving fewer problems with resource-intensive applications.
