ServiceMaster selects Exodus for hosting and managed services

📅 November 15, 2001 - Exodus Communications, Inc. (exodus.net), a premier managed hosting provider for enterprises with mission-critical Internet operations, announced that The ServiceMaster Home Service Center, the leading home service network of nationally branded products backed by ServiceMaster and Kleiner Perkins, Caufield & Byers, has selected Exodus for hosting and managed services.

Exodus will manage the company's storage and back-up, with Exodus DataVault, provide managed firewalls, performance monitoring with Exodus Enterprise Systems Monitoring, and ongoing infrastructure consulting. In addition to hosting the ServiceMaster Home Service Center division with Exodus, ServiceMaster Corp. also renewed its contract with Exodus for an additional two years.
The ServiceMaster Home Service Center enables homeowners to select, schedule and purchase home care services from the most trusted brands in the home maintenance, repair and improvement industry online at www.servicemaster.com or via telephone 24 hours a day at 1-888-WE SERVE.
Exodus provides a variety of services to help ensure that its customers' complex Internet operations are always available and secure. In addition to the reliability, scalability and performance of its web hosting, Exodus offers a full range of managed outsourcing solutions. Exodus provides the Internet systems management expertise that is critical for providing reliable Internet services and quickly expanding Internet capabilities.
"We decided to extend our relationship with Exodus for the same reason we selected the company in the beginning, their size and reputation as the premier hosting provider," said Bruce Peterson, vice president of IT for Home Service Center. "We needed a company we could trust, and that was capable of growing with us. Exodus has proven its ability to meet our requirements."
Companies today are increasingly recognizing the need to outsource their Internet operations in order to reduce their total cost of ownership and allow them to focus solely on their core business. In a report from June 2001, Forrester Research states that firms can save 25 per cent to 80 per cent of their Web infrastructure costs by hosting.
"ServiceMaster has been a very valuable customer over the past two years, growing in scale, as it has partnered with the best businesses in their industry," said Sam Mohamad, president, worldwide sales and professional services for Exodus. "We are looking forward to providing ServiceMaster Home Service Center with the same great service, and supporting the company's online presence as it continues to grow."

The project, called NorthLine, arrives as operators reconsider where networks should sit relative to compute clusters, power availability, and increasingly distributed enterprise environments. The route is expected to enter service by late 2026 and support high-capacity optical services.

The immediate story sounds straightforward enough. Another fiber build. Another route added to an already dense telecommunications map.

Except the geography itself says something.

Lumen Technologies has published its 2026 Defender Threatscape Report, produced by its threat intelligence unit Black Lotus Labs, outlining how cybercrime has evolved into highly coordinated, industrial-scale operations.

Lumen positions itself uniquely in this space by leveraging visibility from its global IP backbone, which carries a significant portion of global internet traffic. That vantage point is at the core of the new offering.

Lumen Defender Managed Rules is delivered as a managed rule group for AWS Network Firewall.

Customers subscribe through AWS Marketplace and can then attach the rule group to their existing AWS Network Firewall deployments directly from the AWS console. [...]
