UUNET South Africa has been hosting the
www.bigbrothersa.com
Web site on behalf of M-Web for the duration of Big Brother 2 as part of its Corporate Event Hosting solution.
"The site has generated incredible interest since the beginning of this huge media event. In fact, the bandwidth requirements exceed those of some of the most popular news portals hosted in SA. Our network is easily able to cope with such large bandwidth requirements without any extra provisioning and we can offer flexible contract periods for events like this," says Paul Janisch, UUhost Product Manager at UUNET South Africa.
"The benefit to M-Web contracting UUhost to host the Big Brother Web site is that this site can now be kept separate. By not using any of the bandwidth that their existing sites are using, it enables M-Web to maintain the high level of service they provide to their regular users," continues Janisch.
An online presence demands the facility to serve all kinds of data that can be selectively accessed via the Internet. This ability has proven to be prohibitively expensive to supply in-house, both in the massive infrastructure and expertise required to satisfy the constant need for systems upgrades.
Outsourced hosting solutions, therefore, increasingly have to cater for the costly demands of business` ever-fluctuating needs, and be scaleable enough to keep pace with your business expansion. Hence UUNET SA`s flexible range, one that through economies of scale allows you an effective Web presence at the fraction of the cost of setting up your own hosting facilities.
This unparalleled suite of single-use and permanent infrastructure solutions includes as standard: multi-platform hosting for greater compatibility with your in-house systems, the highest levels of security, 24x7 support, reliability and high bandwidth.
"UUhost`s solutions are infinitely scaleable and offers a basket of features from which you choose only those that your enterprise needs. Every UUhost service has direct access to the high bandwidth UUNET network allowing multiple simultaneous visitors to access your sites. When you need help, you can trust our world-class data centre to maintain a stable environment for your equipment, and know that our ample redundancy will ensure that you are online and operational. So that you may focus on more important issues, without the burden of maintenance and management expenses," concludes Janisch.
