RESELLERS: You asked. We delivered. The new reseller program launches today.

Published by Kyle Haynes June 19th, 2009 in General and Press Releases. 0 Comments

Limestone Networks has introduced one of the most innovative and aggressive reseller programs in the industry that features significant discounts for resellers. The reseller program is structured on a five tiered system with discounts based on the number of servers online. Resellers only need two servers online to qualify for the program and start receiving exclusive price reductions. Beyond the initial discount, Limestone Networks has also introduced a loyalty program as a special reward to clients based on longevity. Clients in the program will be entitled to extra savings on top of the already heavily discounted reseller pricing.

The innovative new program also features additional discounting that can be combined with other promotions and sales to ensure that resellers are given the best pricing possible on Limestone Network’s entire line of servers. Reseller discounts will be up to 20% off regular priced servers and allow coupon stacking of up to 11% off of servers that are on promotions. In conjunction with special pricing and early notification of new sales, resellers will have access to the exclusive Limestone Networks Reseller Forum, the leading-edge Rockware reseller dashboard, as well as a periodic reseller newsletter with special news, offers, and tips for resellers.

Limestone Networks introduced this program in response to customer feedback and a growing reseller market. Gary Kendall, CVO and CEO of Limestone Networks comments that, “Since the beginning, we have always worked to conform everything that we do to our mantra of ‘Simple, Solid and Superior’. This is yet another example of superior service offerings that we provide to our loyal reseller base.”

Limestone Networks Further Improves Network with New Transit Provider

Published by Kyle Haynes June 2nd, 2009 in Press Releases. 0 Comments

Dallas, TX, June 2, 2009 - Limestone Networks, Inc., the Dallas-based dedicated server company, has partnered with a new transit provider, NTT/Verio. NTT is one of the few Tier 1 transit providers across the globe that currently offers native IPv6 connectivity. This is an advantage for Limestone Networks as IPv4 space becomes increasingly scarce over the next few years. Logan Vig, CTO of Limestone Networks, comments that, “This will be a huge asset as we plan to begin researching IPv6 options and working to build a relievable, native, and scalable IPv6 offering for our customers.”

NTT, the world’s top ranked Tier 1 IP backbone, features the largest capacity between Japan and the U.S. and will improve routing for Asia-based Limestone Network clients.

Limestone Networks already provides clients with Tier 1 bandwidth carriers including Level3, Time Warner, Global Crossing, and Internap.

The new changes, which were put online earlier this week, are in conjunction with network changes made previously this year. Limestone Networks has already upgraded the existing network by implementing Internap® Flow Control Platform™ (FCP) solution. This change allows data to flow through the best performing route on the network.

These upgrades are all part of Limestone Network’s continued commitment to innovation and improvement. Contact the Limestone Networks Sales Team at sales@limestonenetworks.com to experience a simple, solid, and superior network.

Passionate Support Team Delivers Rapid Provisioning Times

Published by Kyle Haynes May 19th, 2009 in General. 0 Comments

Dallas, TX, May 19, 2009 - Limestone Networks, Inc., the Dallas based dedicated hosting company, is proud to announce that, through the implementation of new provisioning features and rock-solid technology, average provisioning times have sped up significantly. The new provisioning features utilize some of very same technology that is available to clients through Rockware using the new OS Reload feature.

What does this mean for Limestone Networks’ customers? Instead of waiting an industry standard of up to twenty four hours for dedicated server implementation, the provisioning phase now takes an average of just over 2 hours. In fact, customers with new orders in the last week have waited only one and a half hours for provisioning, with some servers provisioned in as quickly as 20 minutes. Gary Kendall, CEO of Limestone Networks, comments that, “In our constant striving to be better than anyone else in the marketplace, we have assembled not just a good team at Limestone but a passionate team. Our people are passionate about customer support and it shows in everything we do. Our new faster provisioning times are yet one more example of how hard we strive to give our customers the best possible experience.”

This is all part of Limestone Networks’ dedication to providing customers with simple, solid, and superior service. Contact the Limestone Network Sales Team to see what they have to offer.

Rockware for the Google Android

Published by Kris Anderson April 9th, 2009 in Press Releases and Rockware. 0 Comments

Limestone Networks, Inc. is the first company to enable full server management through an Android-based application on the new Google G1 mobile phone.

Gary Kendall, CEO of Limestone Networks remarked, ”The app gives our customers secure access through our API using their G1 phone, and is free to Limestone customers. Basically, it lets them use all the features of our proprietary API, which they now use on their desktop and laptop computers.”

To use the interface on the Google phone, simply open the Rockware application. It’s named Rockware after the name of its web counterpart that customers use to manage their accounts at Limestone. From the main menu, select Servers, Billing, Support, or Settings, then select from wide array of options and actions.

Mr. Kendall added, ”That means even if the only Internet access they have is through their mobile G1 phone, they can still see and manage all their servers and accounts, just as though they were at their desks: they can power servers up and down, retrieve bandwidth stats and graphs, activate services, review and pay open invoices, update trouble tickets - and a lot more.”

Mr. Kendall notes that the Google G1 phone has an iPhone-like interface and is popular with programmers and network technicians. That, plus its compatibility with Android’s open source platform, made it an easy choice for Limestone’s first foray into mobile server management.
