Announces the extension of its entire line of Alpha Advanced Services to the Microsoft Windows platform.

ThePlanet, a privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced the extension of its entire line of Alpha Advanced Services to the Microsoft Windows platform. The company states that customers with both Windows and Linux servers can now take advantage of the full range of Alpha Advanced Services, which includes managed backup, server monitoring, server security and server administration.

The company explains that Alpha Advanced Services are designed to supplement the administration and maintenance of customers' self-managed dedicated servers and to create the optimal management plan for their businesses. With these add-on management services, customers can lower their operational costs and add to or improve the security and availability of their hosted environments.

"We've heard from many of our customers that they don't have the staff or time required to focus on the maintenance, security or backup of their servers," said Todd Mitchell, The Planet's general manager for advanced services. "Alpha Advanced Services fills that gap, so customers can leave the management of their servers to a team of knowledgeable IT professionals. With the expansion of our Advanced Services to the Windows platform, even more customers can reap the benefits of these individual management modules and choose the solution combination that works best for their business requirements."
