Smart Servers; Powered by Smart Layer in iWeb's latest Datacenter


The Smart Server launch is the result of two years of intensive
 development efforts including construction of a new datacenter from the
 ground up with automation in mind. This new datacenter, iWeb's 4th, is
 the home of an innovative server automation platform called Smart Layer
 which was built for instant provisioning and instant interconnection of
 up to 20,000 Smart Servers.

 about bringing a new infrastructure online that will be the base of
 iWeb's next phase of growth." said Cyrille Mertes, iWeb's CTO.  "It is
 the result of many months of hard work from our teams and marks the
 beginning of an important product transformation for iWeb and its
 customers. Our goal is to have our complete line of dedicated server
 products and options available under the new platform as Smart Servers
 in the next several months" he added.

 Debian or Ubuntu as the operating system and the option to install the
