[cPanel-News] cPANEL UPDATE: TailWatch and cPanel VPS Optimized

[Eric Gregory]

Greetings,
This week marks some great progress at cPanel and with that progress 
comes two new and exciting advancements: cPanel VPS Optimized and  
TailWatchd.

cPanel VPS Optimized
-------------------------------

cPanel VPS Optimized is a new version of cPanel / WHM specifically 
designed to run on Virtual Private Servers. cPanel VPS Optimized 
provides the feature rich functionality of cPanel / WHM while reducing 
memory usage by up to 60% on VPS instances.

cPanel VPS Optimized represents a great step forward for cPanel 
customers. The reduction in memory usage for each install allows web 
hosts the ability to host more domains per virtual machine. This 
increase enables hosts to provide a more efficient and eco-friendly 
server base with fewer physical machines.

The upgrade to cPanel VPS optimized will require no interaction. Once 
cPanel VPS Optimized has reached the build tree on your server, 
automatic updates ( or manual) will upgrade the current cPanel / WHM 
installation to a cPanel VPS Optimized installation. cPanel VPS 
Optimized is currently only in EDGE builds.

TailWatchd
------------------------------

TailWatchd is a new concept in log processing from cPanel. Previously, 
three daemons were used to gather information from mail and bandwidth 
logs (antirelayd, eximstats and cpbandwd). These daemons have been 
deprecated and replaced with a more robust and more lightweight 
TailWatchd. The move to this new system will reduce load due to log 
processing and allows for a more robust interface with the daemon. This 
daemon with all three log processing drivers uses less memory than just 
eximstats!

Other Updates
--------------------------------

Along with these two new advancements, modifications have been made to 
the cPanel / WHM product to reduce cpu and memory usage. We hope that 
you will find these advancements a positive step for your operations. 
There are many more great steps in the cPanel development path which 
will enhance your experiences with cPanel products.
