The Thames Valley Hosting Center from DediPower, a United Kingdom-based hosting provider, has been selected by Favorit to provide co-location
services within its data centre to host an innovative blogging aggregation platform. The blogopshere currently stands at more than 80 million blogs and utilizing a data centre leverages economies of scale and lowers the risk for their IT investment for Favorit.
Favorit, which has a global coverage in the blogoshere, wanted a data center with solid network resilience and connectivity to house its critical IT infrastructure. Backed by Sun Microsystems, the company developed a web 2.0 application that not only aggregates blogs but also centralizes the commenting functionality. This capability simplifies the ability to view and comment, without having to access multiple sites.

Craig Martin, CEO, DediPower noted that Favorit are at the forefront of technology, delivering an integrated blogging portal. He believes that Managed Hosting companies are enablers and help underpin businesses in today's eBusiness economies.
