Exciting news for Django fans today with the public “Preview” launch of (mt) Django GridContainers! Our newest Container solution has been designed for high-performance Django hosting with support from the Django project team. We timed our release to celebrate the 1.0 launch of Django.
One of the hottest features is the custom control panel which makes it easy to setup and manage applications inside your GridContainer. You can add an application in the GUI and start using the Container in a few minutes. Three different Container sizes are available and it’s easy to scale up and down between the sizes when you need to. Check out our product page to learn more or if you just want to dive in and start using it you can buy one right now inside your AccountCenter.
Hopefully you’ve noticed the decrease in spam in your (gs) Grid-Service account and its MailProtect system. The fine folks over at Cloudmark have an impressive spam killer that Nokia, Virgin Mobile, Vodaphone, Sprint/Nextel, Earthlink, Comcast and now (mt) Media Temple use.
Originally we looked into Cloudmark for our Grid successor, the (cs) Cluster-Server, but after an impressive evaluation showing better catch rates and decreased false positives, our CEO ordered its immediate deployment into our existing MailProtect system. One (gs)/(cs) engineer had it fully integrated in 9 hours with zero down time for (gs) Grid-Service users. The rollout for our (gs) Grid-Service clients will continue throughout the month of August.
That’s one of the many benefits of not buying a technology but building a system, like the (gs), in our own (mt) Labs. Our team has the unique ability to rapidly improve services, like MailProtect, with Cloudmark’s Spam killer.
