BlackMesh, a provider of information technology solutions for small and mid-sized businesses, has announced its Optimized Drupal Hosting Platform, specifically designed to provide reliable, scalable hosting capabilities for Drupal-based Web sites. Available now, BlackMesh’s customizable solution will enable Drupal developers to improve the performance of their Web sites, while at the same time enhance and simplify security by automatically synching with daily updates.
Drupal, an open source content management system, has experienced immense growth in popularity as more businesses, individuals and government agencies build Web sites with Drupal for its ease of use, scalability, extended availability of features and modules. In addition, users have easy access to an engaging open source community. While organizations are quick to appreciate the benefits of Drupal for designing Web sites, many do not have the bandwidth or understanding to manage the infrastructure needed to host Drupal sites.
“By working with Drupal sites and users for several years and because of BlackMesh's large install base of single-server and multiple-server Drupal sites, we've been able to develop market-leading optimizations and hosting innovations throughout the Drupal stack,” said Eric Mandel, CEO of BlackMesh. “We’ve created our Optimized Drupal Hosting Platform to simplify day-to-day maintenance for Drupal users, providing a solution that addresses many common problems, as well as access to creative experts who can develop innovative resolutions to complex errors. In addition, our customers have access to our unlimited customer service, as well as the architectural support and scalability necessary to grow their Web sites.”
In the Optimized Drupal Hosting Platform, BlackMesh applies Drupal Optimizations to the entire LAMP Stack. This includes specific updates to Apache, MySQL and PHP. In addition, BlackMesh installs all of the supporting non-Drupal applications, such as outgoing mail server, PHP modules, PHP PECL/PEAR and caches. The Optimized Drupal Hosting Platform service includes implementation and BlackMesh's specialized, 24x7x365 support for multiple architectures, including:
*Single Server
*Dual Servers (Separated Web and database tiers)
*N Web, N Database, Load Balancer
