Introducing (dpv) Nitro Classic

October 19th, 2011 at 10:55 am

Today we are happy to release Nitro Classic – a reduced price dedicated server based on our popular Nitro platform.

Nitro Server, introduced in 2007, is designed for power hungry sites and applications that require guaranteed, dedicated resources. With the new Nitro Classic, we have recycled Nitros from past projects by rebuilding the machines and upgrading them with the newest software available.

Now at a reduced price, a wider-range of customers can afford access to these awesome servers! Our data center team wins too because Nitro Classic helps (mt) Media Temple keep its utilization rate as high as possible.

Nitro Classic is available now. Please follow this link for more information.
