Latest News & Announcements - Database Mart LLC
Database Mart LLC partners With SmarterTools Inc. to provide SmarterMail, SmarterTrack and SmarterStats at no additional cost to customers on all of the Windows Hyper-V servers, dedicated Windows and SQL servers.
We support the latest Microsoft SQL Server 2008 in all our shared servers.
We re-organized our company website http://www.databasemart.com. It will be a central portal for all our products, services, solutions and support informatiom.
We support Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Web and Datacenter Edition in all our dedicated servers.
We've installed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 in all our shared servers. It is enabled automatically when you enabled ASP.NET 2.0 in Helm control panel.
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 contains many new features building incrementally upon .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0, and includes .NET Framework 2.0 service pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.0 service pack 1.
.NET Framework 3.5 builds incrementally on the new features added in .NET Framework 3.0. For example, feature sets in Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows CardSpace. In addition, .NET Framework 3.5 contains a number of new features in several technology areas which have been added as new assemblies to avoid breaking changes. They include the following:
- Deep integration of Language Integrated Query (LINQ) and data awareness. This new feature will let you write code written in LINQ-enabled languages to filter, enumerate, and create projections of several types of SQL data, collections, XML, and DataSets by using the same syntax.
- ASP.NET AJAX lets you create more efficient, more interactive, and highly-personalized Web experiences that work across all the most popular browsers.
- New Web protocol support for building WCF services including AJAX, JSON, REST, POX, RSS, ATOM, and several new WS-* standards.
- Full tooling support in Visual Studio 2008 for WF, WCF, and WPF, including the new workflow-enabled services technology.
- New classes in .NET Framework 3.5 base class library (BCL) that address many common customer requests.
In April 2007 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved price increases for certain domain registries. Domain registries VeriSign, Afilias, Neulevel and Public Interest Registry applied for price increases and received approval and will be raising their wholesale prices to all ICANN-accredited registrars. In light of that decision, Database Mart LLC will adjust the domain registration price from $8.88/year to $9.99/year effective October 14, 2007.
We've set up a new Helm 4.x server cluster in our Houston data center. Here are some new features. The new cluster comes with super fast SCSI servers and latest software (SmarterMail 4, PHP 5, Perl, Pythin and MySQL 5).
We've installed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 in all our IIS web servers.
The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 (formerly WinFX), is the new managed code programming model for Windows. It combines the power of the .NET Framework 2.0 with four new technologies: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and Windows CardSpace (WCS, formerly “InfoCard”). Use the .NET Framework 3.0 today to build applications that have visually compelling user experiences, seamless communication across technology boundaries, the ability to support a wide range of business processes, and an easier way to manage your personal information online. This is the same great WinFX technology you know and love, now with a new name that identifies it for exactly what it is – the next version of Microsoft’s development framework.
We've installed Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX 1.0 in all our shared hosting servers. ASP.NET AJAX is a free framework for quickly creating a new generation of more efficient, more interactive and highly-personalized Web experiences that work across all the most popular browsers.
