What is Managed Server Hosting?

October 14th, 2009 by Marty

(Technical Gauge at 0)

Managed server hosting is a new service that is the future of computing. Simply stated, managed server hosting puts together all the pieces needed to operate a computer server.

Instead of purchasing and setting up a server at your office, hiring additional staff to setup & manage and maintain the server, a managed server is located in our data center and managed by our staff of experts eliminating many of the costs, time, and effort associated with running a server.

Some examples of managed server hosting include:

Managed Server for Web Hosting allows companies to have a web site (www.yourcompany.com) available for their customers to interact with to order products & services, get more information, or get support for an already purchased product. Read the rest of this entry »

BarCamp Tampa Bay 2009

October 1st, 2009 by rchaube

As I settle down to ink my day at the “creme-de-la-unconference” of the year, I am looking for words that can contain my enthusiasm, tether the free spirit that runs amok at the BarCamps, and still capture the essence of what was a day replete with fun, sharing, networking, learning, and being involved with shaping the future of information technology (IT).

Sept 26th & 27th, Barcamp TampBay (BTB) at the  USF, College of Business (COB), among other things, saw the “geek” and the “chic” coalesce. Yes, you read it right! There were attendees with belly T-shirts, colored hair, Louis Vuittons and I think they didn’t look one bit out of place, given that this was like a weekend getaway.  Still thinking about colored hair? See here : http://l.pr/a44gq/

Day 1 was Developer’s Day and day 2 was Media May (which is less technical and I did not attend).  Early Saturday Sept 26, I drove  to Tampa, got lost a few times on Fowler Avenue, thanks to electronic navigation, but overall did not have too much trouble finding the Sun Dome parking lot next to USF COB. Welcome is always warm at Barcamps with a flurry of familiar faces going, “Whats happening Ritesh?”, “How’ve you been Mr. Chaube?”. Read the rest of this entry »

Atlantic.Net Sponsors the Internet And Technology Summit

August 27th, 2009 by jrossiter

Atlantic.Net sponsored the 2009 Internet and Technology Summit held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Tampa, Florida on Tuesday August 25th.  The event was a great opportunity for us to network with technology professionals from Central Florida. It was a great venue to showcase our product information, distribute white papers on “Managed Server Hosting” and “How to Choose a Data Center”.

Atlantic.Net continues to chart out an aggressive agenda for 2009-2010 and looks forward to working with all of the new partners that we have met at events such as these in the coming months.

Atlantic.Net Celebrates 15th Anniversary

July 17th, 2009 by kristina-davis

Atlantic.Net celebrated its 15th year in business on July 17th, 2009. Employees from all departments came to celebrate this milestone and discuss where we came from and where we are heading as a company. This was also an opportunity to get co-workers together to learn a little more about our new hires and  enjoy refreshments!

While most of the guys joked about Joe’s guerrilla basketball skill (go Hard NOC’s basketball team!) and bantered back and forth between Ryan’s witty comments I was busy trying to remember all of the tech’s names that I met.

In all seriousness, it was inspiring to hear Marty, our Founder, President, and CEO, reminisce about the early years when Atlantic.Net was just starting and how we over came many obstacles to make Atlantic.Net the successful organization that we are today!  The same excitement and determination was in Marty’s eyes again as he discussed what we have planned for the next few months.

Atlantic.Net’s 15th anniversary was a wonderful opportunity to grow as a company and as friends, have the opportunity to see the faces that belong to the names on the support tickets and listen to stories that hopefully inspired my peers as much as they did me.

PS: A very special thank you to Sonia for baking a very delicious Anniversary cake!

Atlantic.Net on SaaS at CFITS

June 12th, 2009 by rchaube

June 4th 2009 was special for many reasons, one of them being the Central Florida Information Technology Society (CFITS) lunch meeting event at the Cisco facility on Research Parkway.

It was a hot day (Hello Florida in June!) and the drive was long, but catching up with Adnan and William, it seemed like we got there in no time.

Big thanks to CFITS for recognizing the leadership of Atlantic.net as a strategically and financially sound vendor for SaaS (Software as a Service) hosting deployments and choosing us to do a presentation on ‘Underpinnings of SaaS vendor selection ’ to a sizeable gathering of information technology professionals from a rich mix of local businesses. Apparently, quite a few joined us over the web to listen to the presentation in real-time over Webex.

CFIT Beginning

After a welcome and a light lunch, Cisco presented their new Webex system . Their new system is pretty cool; in fact the presenter did the presentation over the web from the West Coast. The presentation was short, and guess who was delighted? Read the rest of this entry »

Armed with our pocket protectors and Netbooks, Atlantic.Net was there to watch the game, spend some time with the fans, and provide much needed home team support.

While we were there, we decided to rub some elbows, show off a company car, and give away some free prizes with our friends at 580 AM WDBO. One lucky fan won basketball signed by the Orlando Magic players!

Earlier this year, Atlantic.Net announced a formal partnership with the Orlando Magic.  Everyone at Atlantic.Net was very excited and proud to be named the Official Server Host of the Orlando Magic and to  protect their data in our world class data center facility.

As you can imagine, all of Orlando is gearing up for the first home game of the Easter Conference Finals. It seems like everywhere you turn around town, you see “Go Magic!” signs and Godzilla sized banners of Hedo Turkoglu, Dwight Howard, and Rashard Lewis adorning the downtown skyscrapers.

Atlantic.Net sponsors Disaster Recovery Journal’s 40th conference, Spring World 2009!

April 2nd, 2009 by Adnan Raja

Disaster Recovery Journal’s 40th conference, Spring World 2009, was held this year at Coronado Springs Resort and Convention Center, in Orlando. Atlantic.Net was an exhibit sponsor at this event for the first time.  This was a very informative event and a great networking opportunity that allowed us to put our name in front of more than 1,000 Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planners, Information Technology Managers, Consultants, Auditors, Corporate Safety and Risk Managers, and Security Managers. We were able to learn from and network with professionals from various industries like Banking and Finance, Manufacturing, Computer Service, Insurance, Health Care, Management Consulting, Communications, Government, Utilities, Retail, Transportation, Construction and Education.

It was interesting to see so many banks and financial institutions seriously involved in disaster recovery, especially since they spent so little time trying to prevent the disaster those industries are in currently :) .  We were also pleased to see the  growing awareness of comprehensive Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning within the Health Care community.

Atlantic.Net Showcases at the Channel Partner Conference & Expo

March 18th, 2009 by Adnan Raja

Channel Partner Conference Entrance

Given the current state of the economy and its accompanying credit crisis, it was interesting to see the hype at this year’s Channel Partners Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. The conference is held twice a year and is designed to help companies promote their products through agents and partners. The spring conference was held at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino from March 1st - 3rd . There were about 300 booths and more than 3,000 attendees.

sam_vegas

In the past, Atlantic.Net’s business has consistently grown by word of mouth and referrals, but we saw the launching of our Channel Program as an excellent opportunity to accelerate our growth. Fortunately, we have been cash flow positive and had little or no debt since inception. This has enabled us to market new programs and services while others are struggling to pay the bills. Interestingly enough, this turned out to be what set us apart from our debt burdened competition at the event. Read the rest of this entry »
