Enkompass Product Announcement

cPanel, the leading Web hosting control panel software provider, has released the beta of its first Microsoft Windows Server® 2008-based product. Traditionally a Linux- and FreeBSD-based supplier of hosting automation tools, cPanel is collaborating with Microsoft to provide its customers with a greater choice of platform selection with Microsoft IIS7.

“Microsoft has shown a strong commitment to the hosting industry over the past several years,” said J. Nick Koston, CEO of cPanel. “cPanel’s Windows development team feels that Microsoft IIS7 offers a robust, high-performance Web server with increased security that the industry will quickly adopt. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and IIS7 with its modern architecture and support for legacy products was the natural starting point for our expanded product offering.”

Enkompass installs on one IIS7 Server and reaches out to provision accounts on multiple web, mail and database servers. Hosts can easily add capacity by adding servers when the customer base expands.
