Apr 20, 2004 : AT&T Hosts Childtime Learning Centers
📅 - AT&T (att.com) announced on Tuesday that it has signed a contract to provide managed hosting and networking services for Childtime Learning Centers Inc., childcare and preschool educational services. The two-year deal is worth $4 million dollars.
AT&T will provide managed hosting services for Childtime's external Web sites, internal intranet and Web-based applications out of its data center facility in Chicago.
As Childtime's new network service provider, AT&T takes over for MCI. According to the deal, AT&T will provide a wide-area network, based on frame relay service, integrating Childtime's headquarters and 340 locations. AT&T said the increased network capacity allows Childtime to implement a number of new Web-based applications.
"We've worked toward standardizing our network so we can implement Web-based applications across all our locations to make them the most technologically advanced in the childcare industry," says Bill Davis, CEO of Childtime. "AT&T's networking expertise and ability to quickly scale capabilities to meet our growing needs make this a great fit."
AT&T operates 21 Internet data centers around the world. The company said it has plans to open additional centers this year in Frankfurt, Paris, Tokyo and London.
