GMO Internet Rental Server Service, Marugoto Server Launches VPL Series VPS Service

  • GMO Internet Inc.

Tokyo – July 18, 2007 – GMO Internet rental server service Marugoto Server today launches its VPL Series. The new VPS* service offers the effectiveness and high scalability of VPS and achieves an even greater reduction in the server management burden.
* VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a multi-operational virtual server that operates like a dedicated server environment. It offers the scalability of a dedicated server at the low price of a shared server.

The Marugoto rental server service is a reliable dedicated server / VPS service with a commitment to providing quality support and a growing user base. Marugoto Server handles server configuration for the new VPL Series so that even first time users can benefit from the effectiveness and scalability of VPS. In addition, improved basic performance gives our customers a better server management experience.

VPL Series Features
Scalability and Effective Use
(1) Set up Service
Until now, in order to take advantage of the scalability of VPS a certain degree of specialist knowledge was required. However, the VPL Series Set Up Service takes care of all application installations and server configurations so that even customers with no server knowledge can benefit from reduced system management operations.
e.g.) We can handle: 
         Installation of applications 
         Installation of groupware, Cybozu Office 6
         Installation of net shop construction tool, osCommerce etc.
         All changes to server configuration
         MySQL configuration file changes, additional IP addresses etc.
(2) A wide range of applications for expanding the ways your web site is used
Seven applications are available including blogging, net shop and SNS applications. Choose whichever ones you like! Installation is easy and unlike servers that offer pre-installation, we only install the applications you need so there is no wasted server space.
Available Applications
Movable Type – blogging tool 
EC-CUBE – net shop construction tool
OpenPNE – SNS construction tool         
XOOPS – community site building tool
Mailman – mailing list               
Urchin – access analyzer tool
PukiWiki - wiki
(3) Centralized management of multiple domains (sites)
Multiple domains (sites) can be operated and managed on one server for a reduction in both costs and management burden.

Major Reduction in Server Management Burden
(1) Leading server virtualization technology for stable operation
We have employed leading VPS technology that enables us to allocate the optimal hardware resources (CPU, memory processing etc.) to each user and to consistently provide good server operation.
(2) Improved Basic Server Performance
(Red Hat Enterprise Linux, large capacity hard disk [40GB], additional IP addresses)
A huge improvement in basic server performance with the introduction of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux global standard OS for business, up to a 40GB hard disk, and a major increase in additional IP addresses (up to 20).
