XPC Web Hosting Announces Green Web Hosting Initiative

(PRWEB) August 6, 2010

XPC Web Hosting is pleased to announce that we have launched a green enterprise hosting initiative. Over the past month we have successfully moved our entire hosting operation into the RackForce Cloud hosting system located in the GigaCenter green data center in Kelowna, British Columbia.

As a business grade web hosting company in Vancouver we are proud that our operations are now located in the RackForce GigaCenter and running off their enterprise cloud solution. says Shone Anstey VP operations for XPC Web Hosting. In addition our clients have expressed their approval and excitement to have their websites at such an eco friendly environment.

XPC Web Hosting has been with RackForce for almost 2 years now. They are a fast growing web hosting company and recently needed to add more powerful infrastructure to meet their growing needs. Brian Fry, RackForce Vice President – Sales and Marketing By migrating their operations to the RackForce enterprise cloud infrastructure they have positioned themselves for rapid growth.

Datacenters are one of the largest consumers of electrical energy in North America and thus one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Ensuring that they are as environmentally responsible as possible has become critical due to both the rising cost of energy and the onset of global climate change. There are a lot of factors that contribute to a green datacenter, among those power source and power consumption are the two biggest.

Datacenters in many areas are powered by coal-fired or natural gas electrical generation plants. These datacenters emit tremendous amounts of CO2 as a bi-product of their power consumption.

Tapping into British Columbia’s abundant supply of clean hydroelectric power, the RackForce GigaCenter has a carbon footprint which is 50 times smaller than the average coal-powered North American datacenter.

In addition by locating the data center in the Okanagans temperate climate, it uses new technology to take advantage of cool outside temperatures to regulate the temperature inside the data center. In addition, design choices like cold aisle containment and modular construction seriously reduce power use. Finally, technologies like virtualization, unified fabric network, and cloud computing improve IT efficiency.

About us:

XPC Web Hosting is located in Vancouver Canada, and specializes in business and ecommerce hosting with expertise in Magento shopping carts and WordPress websites. We have been in the hosting industry since 2004. Additional information can be found at http://www.xpcwebhosting.com.

MindMaple Inc. Announces An Initiative To Support Alternative Curriculum Planning for Teachers Worldwide

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 24, 2012

San Francisco, CA based MindMaple Inc, the creators of the popular mind mapping software MindMaple Lite and MindMaple Pro, have announced the companies commitment to supporting technology in education through a partnership with various U.S. education departments, including elementary, middle school, high school and college curriculum’s.

Mind mapping has long been used to visually organize thoughts and ideas, but MindMaple Inc. is taking it a step further by continuing their commitment to supporting technology in education. Planning a courses curriculum can be an arduous task and one can simplify this process by utilizing mind maps to create that visual aide for their planning and learning process. MindMaples powerful mind mapping software is an excellent tool to maximize creativity, without sacrificing clarity and organization.

Vice president Leonard Lee commented, Part of the reason we chose to offer MindMaple Lite as a completely free tool is to provide better access to mind mapping for groups with limited funds, such as public schools and students. Mind mapping is an incredible learning and planning tool and we want to make sure its benefits are accessible to everyone.

Material covered in class often integrates multiple skill sets and information sets that students must learn in order to succeed in their classes. In a single class period, an educator may address many complex topics and discussions that, while related, can be easily misconstrued. Utilizing proper planning and incorporating mind mapping software, like MindMaple, can prevent classroom confusion for students and instructors alike.

Mind mapping draws a unique parallel between utilizing both the creative, intuitive types of thinking, often associated with the right hemisphere of the brain, whereas structured and organized thinking is associated with the left side of the brain. In addition to using MindMaple for curriculum planning, educators looking to obtain fresh ideas for class can use mind mapping to brainstorm ideas, while diligently organizing the most relevant ideas into a structured map. These maps are then suitable as a syllabus for students and are easily shared with their colleagues.

Through the end of 2012, any educators looking to utilize MindMaple software for curriculum planning can contact the company directly and a representative will provide them with a free copy of the MindMaple Pro software to introduce to the courses of their choice. The developers encourage users to experience the difference with MindMaple”. The free version of MindMaple is available for download on their website for anyone who may wish to give the product a try and see the various benefits, both personally and professionally, that the software exemplifies.
