New Data Center
We are in the process of getting our data center set up for launch. For the non-techies out there, we need to host our servers for our database, web site, applications servers, etc., etc. somewhere where they are secure, have redundant power, redundant internet connectivity, fire detection, security, etc. So we are going with Savvis. Savvis is a very large providers that has aquired all the assets from Exodus, whom you'll remember as one of the stars of the Internet boom. So we've leased a very nice cabinet in what used to be Exodus Seattle #2. This is an amazing facility that I've done some work in, in past lives for other companies. Got a great deal from our sales rep and I am generally very impressed with their whole operation. One of the very nice things is that Savvis has their own OC-192 backbone (they purchase Cable & Wireless) and are multinational. This means when we go into Europe and Asia, we are going to be able to have our servers on the same backbone.
