February 5th, 2010 at 2:38 pm

We are happy to announce that we will be sponsoring the nonprofit Portland Startup Weekend. We strongly believe in the power of entrepreneurs and therefore will be offering a one year free VPS One account and registered domain name to every business developed launched during the event. Giving these ideas and inventions the tools to thrive is an essential aspect to their future. Our hope is to encourage the continuing growth of new businesses by providing robust and free managed hosting services custom tailored to their unique requirements.

This is an incredible event that provides the outlets for team building, networking and the resources for entrepreneurs in the area. Individuals that attend break into groups and immediately begin forming the ideas of the future. It takes place over a 54 hour time period and will be held March 5-7. This year NedSpace will be hosting the function and providing the space for the idea building to begin. Interested? Registration is open and we encourage you to take a look!

Welcome 2010!

February 5th, 2010 at 12:05 pm

A belated Happy New Year to our Inside readers! Things have been busy here at Network Redux and I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the exciting changes currently taking place. My name is Natalie and I am the newest team member to join Network Redux. I am currently a senior at the University of Portland and am wrapping up my degree in organizational communications. I am thrilled for this new beginning and am looking forward to the future and the continuing growth as a Reduxian.


2010 provides us with a fresh set of services now available on our public website. Clients may immediately notice that we are no longer taking on new Shared Optimized (SO+) hosting accounts, however our current shared hosting customers will continue to receive the full levels of service and support for life.  With this removal comes a new addition… We are pleased to formally announce the unveiling of our enterprise hosting services, and we invite you to take a look:  http://www.networkredux.com/hosting/enterprise

Looking into the new year we are excited to be sponsoring and also be a part of both Ignite Portland 8 and OpenSource Bridge 2010. Ignite Portland 8 is a unique event that gathers people for the common thrill of new ideas in technology, art and other intriguing categories. We will be adding a new addition to our Super Network Redux volume and it will be making its grand debut at Ignite Portland 8. We are also looking forward to being a part of OpenSource Bridge 2010, an inspiring new conference for open source developers. More information on these events will continue to be provided as they grow nearer.

We are looking forward to the new additions and the continuing events in the upcoming new year!

Network Redux Sponsors Ignite Portland 7

November 18th, 2009 at 11:41 am

Ignite Portland

We want you to join us at Ignite Portland 7 this coming Thursday Nov 19, 2009 at the Bagdad Theater.  This is a community event that is organized by the Legion of Tech.  The basic premise is that each presenter has only 5 minutes to present and must get through 20 slides, topics range from the absurd “Building Your Own Pirate Radio Station”, to sure to be hilarious “Confessions of a Dating Ninja”, to the practical “Becoming Bike Oriented”.  Some of our very own clients will be presenting and we can’t wait to see them.  If you are not in the Portland area, don’t fret, you can watch it all streaming live online at IgnitePortland.com on the day of the show.

We have to give special thanks to Brandissimo! for helping us with our sponsor video again.  We are soooo pleased with the latest episode of Super Network Redux Man Episode 2Mark Aguilar, Jimmy Cross, and Ajay Karat did an excellent job and on a really short time line and we can’t thank them enough.  We will premier the video at the event and add it to this blog post later.  If you missed the original cartoon of Super Network Redux man, you can view it here.

Donate: The great people at Small Society and the 30 Hour Day project are collecting toys for Toys for Tots and food for the Oregon Food Bank. Remember to bring some non-perishable food, or new, unwrapped toys, and drop them off in the lobby.

Twitter Contest: We have depicted a well known (in the pdx community) client of ours in our sponsor video.  We will buy a pitcher of beer at the show intermission to the first person who correctly dm’s us the right guess.  Be sure you are following us @networkredux so that you can participate! Update: The answer was Justin Kistner, founder of Beer & Blog.

Network Redux welcomes PHP Fusion as it’s newest Open Source Sponsored Project

November 2nd, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Network Redux is pleased to announce that we have agreed to sponsor open source project, PHP Fusion!

PHP Fusion is an open source content management system written in php.  By storing users site content in a mySQL database and providing a comprehensive administrative system, PHP Fusion has quickly become the number one resource for open source CMS.  Maarten Kossen explains, “We have grown a lot over the past few years, and we currently have on average 20,000 downloads a month. We have 80 crew members, both developers and non-developers, and quite an active community.”

At it’s core, http://php-fusion.co.uk/news.php is a development and support site for PHP Fusion. Featuring news, forums, search, photo galleries and much more, PHP Fusion has grown from a single site in 2002 to 19 support sites in 2009.  As they outgrew their resources they began to look for a new host. PHP-Fusion approached us looking for hosting that would allow their multiple sites to run smoothly and have room to grow. Because of the weight and traffic it was agreed that a cloud solution would best suit their needs.  “We’re honored to have been chosen by the PHP-Fusion project for their hosting and development requirements.  It is quite humbling to help open source software developers power their hosting needs using the open source technologies which encompass the Redux Cloud,” stated Network Redux founder Thomas Brenneke.

The cloud solution offers root access and allows users to scale up and down at anytime by providing on demand servers and storage.  Fully managed, nightly backups, and 24/7/365 monitoring of external and internal Node health are just a few features that come baked in with the CR+ package.
