The Web Host Industry Week in Review by zeshan

In a particularly notable aside from the greater trend, the week's most unusual news was the report that Rasmus Auctioneers intends to liquidate $15 million worth of surplus data center equipment, including Egenera blade servers, EMS data storage arrays, switchgear and hardware. The equipment, the result of a US government decision not to renew an IT lease with a contractor, is scheduled to go on sale September 12. As has become almost standard in recent weeks, the Web hosting business saw another collection of acquisitions, as providers used their wallets to take on new customers or capabilities. Early in the week, it was reported that UK Web host UH Hosting had acquired Prime Hosting, a specialist in cPanel based Web hosting, for an undisclosed sum. Prime will carry on as its own brand, and will incorporate all of the services provided by UH Hosting. On Monday, network appliance vendor Infoblox announced that It had acquired enterprise IP address management software developer Ipanto. The deal will enable Infoblox to add value for enterprise customers relying on Microsoft systems, including Active Directory servers or domain controllers.
