Here's a roundup of data center industry news from the past week:
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (TMRK) said it has completed deployment of its Infinistructure utility-computing platform at its facilities in Madrid and Amsterdam, citing strong demand from current customers and prospects.
Fast-growing blog network b5media has moved onto new infrastructure at ServerBeach, the discount dedicated hosting business of Peer1 Networks. "Rather than custom purpose-built servers we had in our old datacenter, we have moved to plain vanilla commodity servers, which are inexpensive and easily replicated as we grow," writes b5media's Joe Taiabjee.
Online application provider Zoho has deployed half-depth servers from Rackable (RACK) to host its software suite, the companies said last week. “When our customer base surged past one million, it became increasingly important to find a server vendor that was able to scale with us,” said Neil Butani, vice president of Operations. “Rackable Systems’ servers are extremely efficient and their unique back-to-back architecture allowed us to increase our density within our existing data center footprint.”
