Nov 23, 2007 : Attenda Provides Hosting for Miomi

📅 November 23, 2007 - Managed services provider Attenda (attenda.net) announced on Friday that it has signed a three-year deal to host and manage UK-based Web 2.0 startup Miomi (miomi.com).


Attenda says it is implementing and managing the infrastructure to support Miomi's business critical website applications. The solution is based upon Microsoft technologies with an architecture designed to rapidly scale and flex, in the future, as site usage increases, says the company.

Recently named as one of Microsoft's five UK tech companies to watch in 2008 and heralded as the UK's answer to Skype and YouTube, Miomi says its ambition is to democratize time and history by capturing the entire world's memories online. Miomi encourages users to make history by uploading details of their lives, including photos, videos and audio, as 'moments' that they can then link into timelines to tell a story. Featuring content from Microsoft Encarta, Wikipedia and multiple news sources, it provides historical and contemporary content that enables users to see their whole life in 'real world' context against a global backdrop of world events.

"Our business has been founded on innovation and is set to grow rapidly, so we needed a partner that could support us as we grow," says Jonny Crowe, CEO of Miomi. "We chose Attenda as our strategic partner for their reputation as a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner, with an impressive client list and proven ability to deliver highly available, highly secure Web applications managed services against a business-led service level agreement."

Last month, Attenda signed a five-year contract with Kaplan Financial to manage its new Web-based training program, En-Gage.
