Apr 22, 2003 : WinMill Software Selects Globix

📅 April 22, 2003 - Windmill Software (winmill.com) announced on Monday that it has selected Globix (globix.com) to provide Web hosting for its Web sites and e-learning platforms.

"WinMill Software is a great win for us," said Pete Stevenson, CEO of Globix. "Our network reach, world-class facilities and innovative solutions are clearly providing enterprise customers with the comfort and value-proposition they are seeking in today's marketplace."
Winmill selected Globix for its network reach, management capabilities and highly redundant and secure infrastructure, the company reports.
"We were hosting several dozen high-volume web sites for our most demanding clients," said Joseph Strazza, President and CEO of WinMill Software. "These sites required round-the-clock monitoring, and we were dedicating more and more resources to provide premium service. Now, Globix keeps us up and running and we are able to refocus our staff on what we do best -- application development and education."
Globix RapidDeploy ? a service that enables the physical migration of Web assets without incurring any downtime ? was also a key selling point. "RapidDeploy was critical for us," said Strazza. "You can't just tell Procter & Gamble that their online training site is going to be down for 24 hours while you move your servers."
Based in the United Kingdom, Globix is a leading provider of managed infrastructure services for enterprise customers. Its RapidDeploy service combines professional service and logistical support that enables enterprise customers to move their Web assets from distressed hosting providers to a Globix data center.
