Windows Hosting (Enkompass)
Enkompass is a new Control panel designed for Windows server 2008 by cPanel and will utilize Microsoft IIS7. This will allow clients to use ASP, .NET, PHP, PERL and many other languages. The Microsoft environment will also allow clients to use MySQL and MSSQL databases while keeping WHM/cPanel's very familiar control panel layout. Enkompass also runs on a multi server farm, so if the mail server were to ever go down all of your other services would still remain available. Enkompass is also able to reconfigure itself to serve sites off other servers if any issues arise on the web server.

Enkompass is designed to be used in a distributed server environment. This means that one or more Enkompass server(s) will be able to manage many web servers across a Windows domain, allowing for easy automation and maintenance of a set of servers — up to an entire data center. Developers enjoy the ability to script in .NET, ASP, PHP, Perl, AJAX, XML, and Silverlight. Plus, you get native support for Visual Studio. Integrate applications with either MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server® 2008.
In previous versions of Internet Information Services (IIS), administrators had to contend with time-consuming, advanced configurations, replication of content and COM components, and server configuration synchronization.
Specific problems with previous IIS versions included the following:
Metabase was machine-specific; paths were hard-coded.
Metabase ACLs had to be fixed because of machine-specific SIDs.
There were no built-in synchronization or replication tools.
Enkompass has simplified the setup procedure and, in conjunction with Windows Server® 2008, provides the solution to these problems. By using shared storage and the IIS Shared Configuration, web farms can provide both single and multiple website hosting. The hassles of configuration and advanced setups have been removed and, when deploying a multi-server Enkompass solution with shared storage, accomplishing high availability becomes easy.
Top features of Enkompass failover hosting
1. Zero file replication requirements
Centrally located files and configuration files allow Enkompass to re-route IPs and configurations, and utilize files through the SAN device.
2. Zero merging of advanced configuration files
Configuration files needed to operate IIS are also centrally located, meaning that if a failure does occur, websites can be brought back online in a matter of seconds.
3. Ability to take servers offline anytime
Software updates and hardware upgrades can happen without the need for website downtime. Enkompass allows administrators to manually shift websites to another server, perform the updates, and then move them back, with little to no downtime.
4. Simple setup and management
In the past, advanced Windows hosting clusters have required a team of experts to configure, maintain, and tweak to perfection. Enkompass considers high availability a "default" feature, and as such, enabling it is easy and simple.
