Previously you would have to decide between a “normal” ICP as needed for all business online properties.  Or a “commercial” ICP for doing trades/shopping cart/ecommerce.

Well if you had the latter – get ready to go an apply for the former AS WELL and IN ADDITION to the latter.  Otherwise the nice men at 5PM on a Friday on the phone will be demanding that your site is taken down.  Even though you have a commercial ICP and put up the millions in RMB in registered capital required for it.

The whole process took 4 days, for 2 locations, 2 cities and 4 clusters. CANDIS is glad that we were able to help our clients manage the deployment with native language support and avoiding expensive travel for EU/US based engineers. All up it was 70 servers deployed with full remote management and power and network port control.

It is still cool though;

Many new clients and some large contracts (our largest to date). Our utility infrastructure has grown a lot too. Some of the projects and services that we are working on now and hope to launch very soon are:

- Grid Computing

- China wide redundant “Storage Fabric”

- China Optimised International and Local Routing

- Geographic IP and IDC Failover

- More thin client goodness

BTW – never use Windows Server 2008. It sucks. It has “VISTA” written all over it….literally in all the help files and what not. It is a true dog of an OS…but the Terminal Services support is WAAAAAY better. Not that W2K3 was bad – this is just even more fluid – especially under virtualisation.

Will update soon.
