Canoncial released Ubuntu Lucid Lynx earlier today and we are pleased to announce that the 32-bit and 64-bit version are now available for your slice as well.

Something to take notice of is that this release is an LTS (Long Term Support) version. This means that Canonical will continue to provide security updates and bug fixes for the applications available from their repositories for a period of five years, as opposed to 18 months with a normal release.

If you wish to take advantage of this new Ubuntu Lucid image, please login to the SliceManager to create a new slice or you can perform a rebuild of an existing slice. Keep in mind that a rebuild will erase any existing data on the slice.

Our community liaison, Jered, was nice enough to put together a few setup articles to help you get started right away with configuring and securing your Ubuntu Lucid slice.

Ubuntu Lucid Setup Part 1

Ubuntu Lucid Setup Part 2

There is also Ubuntu Lucid category where you can find other articles that have been tailored for this distribution.

On another note, Canonical will end support for Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex tomorrow April 30th, 2010. Therefore, we will be removing this image as an option in two weeks time to avoid any complications. If you wish to preserve a base image of Ubuntu Intrepid, you can do so by creating a backup in the SliceManager.

If you have any questions or would like to speak directly with a member of our support team, we are available 24 hours a day in our official SliceChat room. Additionally, please feel free to email us at support@slicehost.com at any time.

(The Hosting News) –  Cloud enablement leader, Parallels, today announced that SoftCom, one of the leading providers of web hosting, email and business communications services worldwide, has launched Parallels Automation including Shared Hosting, Hosted Exchange, SharePoint Hosting and Virtual Private Server.

This will help SoftCom deliver full service offerings to its customers, go after new markets and increase average revenue per customer as SoftCom shifts focus to sales & marketing. Parallels Automation is a single delivery platform that allows SoftCom to operate all of its successful brands leading to consolidated infrastructure and business growth.

“Deploying Parallels Automation was a practical decision both from an operational point of view and from a profitability perspective too,” said Celal Ulgen, Chief Marketing Officer at SoftCom Inc. “We looked at the alternatives prior to deployment and Parallels stood head and shoulders above the rest. This gave us the extra confidence we needed to be able to trust our entire hosting automation needs to Parallels.”

SoftCom’s business has grown rapidly creating a complex administrative burden in terms of management, billing and overall integration into the company’s IT architecture. It saw Parallels Automation as a way for it to concentrate on its core business of being a full service, worldwide hoster while offering diversified services to existing and new customers globally. Parallels Automation provides the speed and flexibility SoftCom needs to go after new markets.

“We knew we could grow our business faster if we concentrated on being a hosting company that doesn’t need to also be a software developer,” said Ulgen. “Parallels has hundreds of developers which allows us to concentrate not only on sales and marketing, but also on service delivery without worrying about supporting the backend software needs of the customer.”

SoftCom also plans to offer Microsoft Office Communications Services (OCS) and Microsoft Live Meeting along with hosted CRM over the months to come. Parallels Automation allows these Microsoft Hosted Services to be deployed rapidly.

Parallels Automation automates the full lifecycle of hosted services and software — from service management and provisioning to customer self-service and datacenter management. It decreases the time spent on repetitive administration tasks and system maintenance allowing business to focus on growth and profits.

“This is a great example of Parallels Automation helping a partner offer profitable cloud services,” said Jack Zubarev, President of Worldwide Service Providers at Parallels. “We are very pleased with this commitment by SoftCom to entrust Parallels Automation to run its entire hosting business while making cloud services available to its customers.”
