I just found out today that SWSoft (our current Control Panel and Virtualization Software Vendor) has purchased Ensim (our previous Control Panel Vendor). I was a little surprised with this news because there weren’t a lot of rumors this year at HostingCon about this possibly happening, maybe there were and I just didn’t hear them.
When we first started offering Managed Hosting at Pleth we utilized the Ensim Control Panel and really liked it but when relocating our servers to the Planet we decided to just go with what they supported, which at the time was only Plesk. After having used Plesk for a few years I don’t think I would entertain going back to Ensim though, even with Sergey and the SWSoft team taking the software over, Plesk is just that good in my opinion.
It is my understanding that the intention of SWSoft at this time is to keep both Control Panel providers as seperate entities, of course that could change down the road, but the primary goal I hear is that they are wanting to push their Open Fusion Initiative out to existing ISV’s.
