I’m excited to announce the launch of Private MongoDB hosting at Everleap.
This new premium NoSQL solution will provide you with your own private MongoDB server. Your MongoDB databases will get access to all of the disk space, CPU and RAM on the virtual machine. And like our other hosting services, it is fully managed. We will handle all the server updates and security at no additional cost, freeing you to devote your time and resources to your website and applications rather than server maintenance.
Last year we attained EU-US Privacy Shield Certification and the policy update included legacy Swiss-US Safe Harbor language. But earlier this year, a new Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework was approved. And on April 12th, the US Department of Commerce started accepting applications for the new Swiss-US Privacy Shield framework.
There are some differences between the EU-US Privacy Shield and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield frameworks. We worked with our privacy management solutions partner, Truste, to make sure that our privacy policies and practices meet the requirements of both frameworks. So I am happy to announce that we have attained Swiss-US Privacy Shield Certification.
Today we announce two new services that we are introducing in partnership with SpamExperts, who offer premium email security solutions.
Inbox Filtering
This is a premium spam filtering solution that will not only keep your inbox virtually free of spam, viruses and phishing, but also includes a powerful management portal, where you can easily setup whitelists and blacklists and review your email logs. You can also get daily quarantine summary report.
We have introduced a new tool to add SQL users to the Managed SQL section of Control Panel.
But…Managed SQL it isn’t called Managed SQL anymore. Now it’s Private SQL.
We recently introduced Private MySQL, and for the sake of consistency (and descriptiveness) we changed Managed SQL to Private SQL.
Everleap successfully renewed our Microsoft Partnership for 2017 – this time with the Silver Datacenter competency.
We invest our time and resources every year to meet the requirements that Microsoft sets for their Microsoft Partner Network program. We do this to demonstrate our commitment to staying on top of Microsoft technologies, and to maintain access to Microsoft resources that are only available to partners.
We’re excited to announce the availability of Private MySQL Hosting at Everleap.
This new premium MySQL solution will provide you with your own private MySQL server that is not shared with any other customer. Your MySQL databases will get access to all of the disk space, CPU and RAM on the virtual machine. And similar to all of our other hosting services, it is fully managed. 
We will handle all the server updates and security at no additional cost, freeing you to devote your time and resources to your website and web application and not on server maintenance.
AZGroups held an event in January featuring Scott Guthrie himself.
Even though Scott is now insanely busy as the Executive Vice President of the Cloud and Enterprise group at Microsoft, he still takes the time to do these events and code in front of developers in his signature red polo shirt. It’s pretty impressive.
The event was held at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
In keeping with tradition, I’m posting our 2016 Top accomplishments list.
Microsoft launched their next version of SQL Server so we made it available for Everleap customers. We introduced both Shared SQL 2016 and Managed SQL 2016 solutions. Some of the new enhancements include temporal tables, query store, stretch database, and native support for JSON.With the help of our privacy management solutions partner, Truste, I am happy to announce that Everleap has attained Privacy Shield certification.
The Privacy Shield framework replaces the former Safe Harbor framework that was struck down by an EU court in 2015. Starting in August 2016, the Department of Commerce started accepting certifications under the new Privacy Shield framework.
We believe our efforts are a differentiator and demonstrates our commitment to protecting your privacy. I hope you do too.
As you may or may not know, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) struck down the EU Safe Harbor framework back in October 2015. The Safe Harbor agreement was originally reached in 2000, and provided a framework to allow US-based companies to transfer EU citizens’ data to the USA if the company met EU standards for privacy protection.
Everleap has always taken the necessary steps to maintain US-EU Safe Harbor certification, working with our privacy management solutions partner, TRUSTe. We chose to invest in attaining Safe Harbor status because we host customers from all over the world and we wanted to make sure that our EU customers are confident that we are following EU privacy standards. We believe it’s a differentiator and shows our commitment to protecting your privacy.
