Enterprise Extensions

MachPanel Control Panel offers several enterprise extensions that are not part of main software licensing but are purchased separately. These extensions are however installed with default installation and may be disabled if not needed.

These extensions are designed to allow hosting companies quickly expand into newer and more profitable hosted services such as Hosted Exchange Service. These Enterprise Extensions include functionality for billing, provisioning, multiple server support, and management.

Product Licensing

MachPanel Provisioning System is licensed as one-time fee whereas Enterprise modules which are required to offer SaaS Hosting are licensed on PAY-PER-USAGE (PPU) model. For example if hosting providers offers Microsoft Exchange 2010 hosting it needs Exchange Enterprise Module for MachPanel and will pay only when it provisions a Mailbox using MachPanel.

Security

MachPanel configures all virtual hosts under their own IIS user and (optionally) their own IIS worker process group. This eliminates complains of users of other popular control panels which are not secured in sense of multi-tenant hosting since they tend to run all virtual hosts under same user.
