Apr 9, 2008 : VIA Networks Launches Platform

📅 April 9, 2008 - Web hosting provider VIA Networks (vianetworks.net) announced on Wednesday it has launched its Intelligent Platforms solution, an integrated solution that includes platform-level support and expertise to help customers improve the reliability and performance of their business applications.


The reliable delivery of business applications requires the seamless integration of network, hardware, operating systems, Web servers, databases and software platforms to create a resilient environment.

VIA Networks refers to this balance between network, infrastructure and software as Intelligent Platforms. The solution enables internal developers and IT teams to focus on application customization and business process automation rather than the time-consuming process of maintaining, updating and upgrading the application environment.

"Many times customers are paying a premium price for their network, hardware and OS to be managed, but left to their own devices when it comes to troubleshooting and fixing software issues," says Darin Elkins, managing director at VIA Networks. "We have seen a great demand from our customers for support around platform issues. The Intelligent Platform offering enables our customers to stay focused on core business activities, while improving the performance of their business applications."

VIA Networks' Intelligent Platform offerings include managed application platform, managed database and operating system, network, hardware and storage.

As a part of European managed services firm Claranet Group, VIA Networks supports more than 36,000 business customers in 80 countries worldwide. The company provides customers with complete hosting and managed services offerings, including expert hosting and platform support for Microsoft technologies.

In February, the company opened its new office in Las Vegas, Nevada, the latest move in its continuing expansion across North America.
