Cloud Linux Inc., a software company dedicated to serving the needs of hosting service providers, today announced the release of SecureLVE, an extension of its Lightweight Virtual Environment technology which creates a higher level of security for shared hosting servers. The company avers that SecureLVE provides a virtualized file system, which separates each user on the server into its own virtual environment, preventing one user from seeing any other users on the server. It claims that this new server security makes it difficult for hackers to attack, deface, or steal data from the shared web server.

The company states that SecureLVE is based on its Lightweight Virtual Environment technology, which allows the administrator to control CPU usage on a server at the tenant or application level. Providing a security layer that limits the available applications, devices, and what a user can see in the file system, SecureLVE technology makes it harder for an attacker to penetrate the server.

It articulates that on a typical shared server, one user can often see other users on the system, as well as in some cases, their configuration files, including passwords. By compartmentalizing each user in its own environment and limiting the commands that each user can execute, the vector of attacks against the server is significantly diminished and server’s overall security is enhanced. With SecureLVE, many attacks that can happen on the server are completely prevented.

The company further states that the release of this new innovative security tool is further demonstration of its promise to help service providers increase security, stability and control of the server environment for more efficient and profitable operations. It invented the Lightweight Virtual Environment, a kernel-level technology that limits the amount of resources (CPU, I/O, memory) available to a specific process or customer. LVE isolates specific hardware resources in a lightweight environment and prevents one tenant on a shared server from affecting others, especially due to a sudden peak load from a single tenant.

It explains that SecureLVE provides the system administrator with functionality similar to container based virtualization, but on the application level, instead of the OS level. It will fill the gap between shared hosting and Virtual Private Servers (VPS), and will allow server administrators to increase server stability and density while greatly improving the security of shared hosting. Server owners can continue to limit available applications and limit accessible devices but without the performance monitoring and server management required for container based virtualization. The company adds that the software is available to all its subscribers.

“SecureLVE is the first out-of-the-box solution that delivers a high level of security in a shared hosting environment,” states Igor Seletskiy, Cloud Linux Inc. Founder and CEO. “At Cloud Linux we will continue to deliver tools that improve the stability and security of the hosting environment, and give hosting providers the control and flexibility they need to manage the more complex challenges brought on with the rise of cloud computing.”

M5 Hosting, a worldwide leader in customized, high performance Linux and BSD dedicated server hosting solutions, announced today it will sponsor the upcoming BarCamp San Diego, to be held July 10-11 at the Intuit Campus in San Diego, Calif. M5 Hosting is sponsoring the event at the secondary sponsorship level. BarCamp San Diego, part of an international network of “unconferences,” is an exciting, open forum for computer enthusiasts, industry professionals and others passionate about Internet culture, technology, and life online. Although there is no set schedule or organized speaker lineup, attendees will participate in lively discussions with key experts and other attendees. The event is built on the philosophy that anyone who builds or uses the Internet on a regular basis has something to learn and something to teach.

“BarCamp is an exciting gathering of smart and creative people sharing their skills and knowledge in a welcoming, engaged environment. They are the kind of people who make the content and services that eventually need M5 Hosting. We want to promote and encourage events like this in any way we can, especially by lending our time, talent, and treasure,” said Michael J. McCafferty, principal of M5 Hosting.

“BarCamp is and always will be a volunteer-led effort. Support from companies like M5 Hosting is vital to our success and enables us to continue our mission of bringing together people who want to learn more about the Internet and online culture,” said Dan Tentler, organizer of BarCamp San Diego.

As a secondary sponsor of the event, M5 Hosting will be recognized at the event, as well as on the BarCamp website and t-shirts. M5 Hosting staff will also participate in discussions and may choose a topic on which to lead a presentation.

Earlier this year, M5 Hosting introduced a new data backup service powered by R1Soft Continuous Data Protection™ (CDP) technology. Customers are able to purchase the data backup service, which starts at $50 per month, as an add-on to their core hosting services.

In March, M5 Hosting began operations in its second data center facility, an 80,000 square-foot purpose-built data center located in the San Diego Spectrum area of San Diego, Calif. Originally built to support a large defense contractor and its government contracts, the facility has recently been updated with the latest in highly-efficient power and cooling systems.

SingleHop, Inc., one of the fastest-growing providers of dedicated servers and complex web hosting solutions, announced the launch of the world’s first cloud hosting reseller system, which will be sold under their Tandem reseller brand.

The Chicago-based web hosting company has quickly achieved a dominant position in the dedicated and complex hosting business by offering innovative solutions for end-users and resellers. In 2008, SingleHop introduced LEAP, an advanced control panel, designed to give customers complete control over their infrastructure. Earlier this year, SingleHop launched the highly successful Tandem Reseller system, which offers resellers enhanced control, greater sales potential, and higher margins.

“Tandem revolutionized the reseller market,” said SingleHop President and CEO Zak Boca. “It was the first to offer the end-user a fully white-labeled control panel. Tandem also gained notoriety amongst web hosters by providing unlimited SSL certificates, among other exclusive offers.” Both systems, LEAP and Tandem, have also been extended to various additional platforms, including the iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Firefox toolbar, and various widgets, making SingleHop a leader in providing complementary tools that expand on the amount of control the end-user has.

With the launch of the Cascade Platform, SingleHop will again redefine the reseller experience by offering the world’s first turn-key cloud reseller system, available under the Tandem Reseller program, with all of the usual perks, including end-user control panels in over 15 languages. Cascade will allow resellers to seamlessly create and manage virtual machines via LEAP, and then have the ability to sell them with fully customized control panels for the end-user through Tandem.

“Adoption of cloud computing technologies by hosting providers has not yet hit a tipping point, because we feel hosting companies haven’t had the necessary components to easily bring a product to market,” Boca said. “We feel that our unique combination of technologies, LEAP, Tandem, and Cascade will change the landscape, and will further enable adoption of cloud computing in the hosting world.”

The cloud hosting reseller system will be launching July 17th around the time of the industry’s annual convention, HostingCon. SingleHop executives are scheduled to speak during two exclusive sessions, July 19th and 20th at 3 pm. Monday’s event is focused on “Reselling the Cloud,” while Tuesday’s is focused on mobile server and cloud management technologies. Entrance is limited to HostingCon participants and media.
