HostScoreCard.com Announces: TN iSolutions to Receive Shared Business Host Award

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 30, 2011

HostScoreCard.com, a leading website hosting review compilation of the best web hosting services, announces: TN iSolutions to receive the Shared Business Host award. TN iSolutions was chosen for this high honor because of the extraordinary features and exemplary service offered, at a very affordable web hosting price. The staff at HostScoreCard.com spends hours daily, testing, searching for, and reviewing the best web hosts in the industry. All of the information is then compiled into an easy to search database that is available for all webmasters to use freely.

TN iSolutions is based in Australia and has datacenters in both Australia and the United States. TN iSolutions provides everything webmasters need to create a shared business hosting account. For a business website, webmasters have access to all the best web hosting features including a one-click script installer to add unique applications and features that will make every website specialized for the individual business. In addition to all the best web hosting features required to create and maintain a shared business hosting account, TN iSolutions provides domain name registration and SSL certificates to ensure privacy and security to every web hosting client and end customer of the business website.

For a business website, security and reliability are two of the most important aspects of a web hosting account. Most of the best web hosts offer similar features and tools. Where the big difference is seen, is in the service the web host provides to each customer and the reliability of the web hosting service. TN iSolutions uses only high-end web hosting servers, offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and offers customer support that is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week all year long. The fact that TN iSolutions has datacenters in both Australia and the United States makes it possible for them to offer reliable web hosting service that is not just Australia web hosting, but world-wide web hosting that is available 24 hours a day.

When it comes to affordable web hosting there are hundreds of choices out there. The problem is that many of the web hosting service providers are huge. Huge web hosts that have hundreds of thousands of customers simply cannot provide individual customer service and care to all of their web hosting clients. This Australian web hosting company, TN iSolutions, is independently owned and is dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable web hosting solutions to every web hosting client. Webmasters are encouraged to visit the TN iSolutions website for complete details on each of the shared business hosting option, from a free trial on the basic plan to reseller hosting, VPS hosting and more; TN iSolutions has the features, tools, and options to meet the needs of virtually any webmaster.

Tungsten Graphics Announces Phase II Contract Award by ATTC, FT Rucker, AL to Extend Chromium to Support CIGS (Computer Image Generator Subsystem)

Cedar Park, TX (PRWEB) July 14, 2004

Tungsten Graphics, inc., premiere provider of Graphics infrastructure software and services announced today, a Contract Award by ATTC, FT Rucker, AL to Extend Chromium to Support CIGS.

Through funding provided by Developmental Test Command?s (DTC) Synthetic Environment Focus Group (SEFG), ATTC (U.S. Army Aviation Technical Test Center) is developing a Personal Computer (PC) Cluster based Scene Generation computer system, utilizing a Chromium infrastructure, to replace the existing Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) system.

An important part of ATTC?s development of a PC-based CIGS is Chromium. Chromium is a flexible framework for scalable rendering on clusters of workstations, derived from the Stanford WireGL project. A Chromium system allows clusters of low cost, high performance, commodity computer hardware and graphics accelerators to be linked together over high speed networks in a scalable architecture. Although many OpenGL applications will run unmodified as distributed applications in a Chromium system, it?s often the case that customizations are needed to fully take advantage of Chromium.

TG was founded by Brian Paul (owner and principal author of Mesa), Frank LaMonica (former CEO of Precision Insight), Jens Owen (founding partner and former engineering manager of Precision Insight), and Keith Whitwell (senior engineer and major contributor to Mesa.)

Satellite Radio Superstore Garners Prestigious Award as Top 10 Independent Retailer for XM Radio, Offers Complete Line of Products and XM Satellite Radio Service

Winter Park, FL (PRWEB) August 21, 2006

Satellite Radio Superstore has earned the title of Top 10 Independent Retailer for XM Radio. The store’s award is a result of commitment from its owner and staff to offering the best XM Radio products and a unique level of service to support each sale.

Satellite Radio Superstore is an authorized XM satellite radio dealer offering products, accessories, and service via the Internet at XM-Radio-Satellite.com. The store offers customers a large selection, including XM satellite radio accessories, a variety of satellite radio and mp3 player choices, and XM satellite radio receivers.

This XM satellite radio dealer is unique because it has a fully trained staff dedicated to assisting customers. “We feel our competitive advantage is our trained and committed staff that works hard to bring each customer the very best in service and support,” says Matt Moffett, President of Satellite Radio Superstore.

Among XM satellite radio service providers, many work out of home-based offices and request shipments through warehouses owned by third parties. This often causes problems for customers because the company that they have paid for their product doesn’t actually own the warehouse or control the shipping. Satellite Radio Superstore is different because it has its own offices and warehouse staffed by twelve employees selling only satellite radio products.

“We feel this award separates us from our competition by proving our track record as a committed XM satellite radio dealer,” says Moffett.

Satellite Radio Superstore also offers all customers the chance to interact with a live customer sales associate if they have any questions about the XM satellite radio service or products that are offered. Many competitors do not offer this level of service and support, which is one of the reasons that Satellite Radio Superstore has been recognized as a Top 10 Independent Retailer for XM Radio.

About Satellite Radio Superstore:

Satellite Radio Superstore and its Website, XM-Radio-Satellite.com, were founded by Matt Moffett. Moffett has a degree in finance from the University of Central Florida and has been involved in the satellite radio business since 2001. He started Satellite Radio Superstore in 2003. For more information, visit the store’s XM satellite radio Website at XM-Radio-Satellite.com.
