From today through May 5, 2005, leading Apple(R) Xserve colocation provider XServHosting (www.xservhosting.com) will be giving the gift of music

Every new XServHosting colocation client will receive an Apple iPod Shuffle, iPod Mini, iPod or iPod Photo, depending on the XServHosting colocation plan chosen (http://www.xservhosting.com/xserve-...cation-ipod.php).

Ranging from a single 1U Xserve to a full cabinet, the seven XServHosting plans offer secure, affordable colocation of clients' Xserve, Xserve Raid and network equipment in the company's 50,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility. Redundant fiber optic connections, diesel generator back-up power, a non-destructive fire suppression system, and Zone 4-rated earthquake construction safeguard the servers, while 24-hour on-site security personnel and closed-circuit monitoring protect client data.

The XServHosting business model differs markedly from most colocation firms, which tend to focus on Windows and Unix colocation; colocation for Apple servers is rarely a primary business focus - and that means clients on Apple servers often aren't getting the level of service they deserve, said James A. Martinez III, President of XServHosting.

"At XServHosting, we specialize in one market: the business aspect of Apple servers," stated Martinez. "We understand that an Xserve is not just another server. It's an investment. Clients who colocate their servers with us can expect industry-leading service, uptime and data protection from an experienced support staff."

The Xserve market is growing rapidly, added Martinez, and his company plans to stay at the forefront of the Xserve revolution, increasing capabilities and services as more companies adopt Apple's Xserve and Xserve Raid technology. For most new XServHosting colocation clients, then, the free iPods will likely be the icing on the Apple cake.
