Offering World-Class Privacy Services to the Internet's Top Companies Over
Exodus' Industry-Leading Infrastructure
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Exodus Communications(TM),
Inc. (Nasdaq: EXDS), a leading provider of Internet system and network
management solutions for enterprises with mission-critical Internet
operations, today welcomed Privada, Inc. as an Alliance Partner.
Privada, Inc. has developed technologies that allow Internet users to
conduct their activities -- browsing, email, newsgroup posting, chatting, and
most importantly, purchasing -- without fear that their personal information
will be misappropriated and misused. These technologies will be offered as
services to both businesses and consumers. In order to use Privada's
services, users will create on-line identities that cannot be matched to their
real-world identities by any entity, including Privada itself.
The foundation of Privada's patent-pending technologies is an innovative
network infrastructure. The infrastructure -- known as a Privada Network
-- permits anonymity by combining existing encryption and digital
identification technologies with a proprietary architecture to strictly
compartmentalize and protect a user's identifying information. This
infrastructure acts as a platform for Internet privacy, over which multiple
applications can operate to privacy-enable all types of Internet transactions.
Privada has chosen to install Privada Networks at selected Exodus(TM)
Internet Data Centers (IDCs) around the world, creating the option for Exodus
customers to easily offer Privada-outsourced privacy services to their users.
"Exodus IDCs are the most secure and reliable in the world," said
Barbara Bellissimo, president and CEO of Privada. "Our customers will trust
nothing less with their confidential transactions. Our alliance allows us to
deliver peak performance wherever our users are located. It's a pleasure to
work with a company with the same dedication to service and respect for
privacy that we have."
"We are proud to work with Privada to deliver industrial-strength privacy
to their customers," said Ellen M. Hancock, president and CEO of Exodus.
"Exodus' scalability, security and network expertise will allow Privada's
services to perform at levels demanded by today's environment."
