2009.10.25 OpenAccess begins internal testing for Windows 2008 Server hosting solutions.
posted by admin on 10/25/09

OpenAccess is happy to finally be able to announce that we are beginning internal testing of cPanelŽ/Enkompass as a platform for our customers to be able to deliver Windows(c) 2008 Server solutions on.

We have been waiting a long time to be able to have a solid Windows hosting service for our customers and have in the past experimented (and still assist in maintaining) other solutions.  We apologize for the delays and look forward to delivering this frequently requested product.

Our roadmap currently involves internal testing on both Windows 2008SP2 and Windows 2008R2, with an eye to begin beta (free accounts!) January 1st 2010 for qualified customers and a public release of services either late in 2010Q1 or early 2010Q2.

Overall testing shall take a bit of time, and the call for 'beta/free' accounts is entirely true both in regards to 'beta' and 'free'.  On the beta program we will not lose data and do not anticipate unscheduled downtime, but more than likely, you will experience at least a couple of scheduled maintenance windows as we investigate:
  • Utilizing raw hardware
  • Utilizing vmware
  • Utilizing a combination of the above
  • Explore capabilities to transparently fail over from one geographic area to another.
