ProNetLink.com's functionality continues to be enhanced and new modules are scheduled for release this fall.
Over the weekend, ProNetLink upgraded its server farm with the addition of five (5) new high-powered servers. This upgrade will allow the company to move into its next level of development and user functionality. In total, the company is maintaining close to half a terabyte of data storage.
