Long article in InformationWeek mentions EXDS on last page: "Network Pressure: E-commerce has made network availability the highest priority and downtime more costly than ever" informationweek.com Extract: "A bad service provider can be costly, says Todd Walrath, senior VP of online services for Weather.com, the Weather Channel's Web site and one of the top-20 revenue-generating sites. Walrath says his previous hosting service didn't focus enough on uptime, so he switched to Exodus." "Exodus' entire company is organized to design better Internet connectivity and service to their hosting customers," he says. Exodus offers a Java tool that lets site managers view the status of their servers from any Web browser. Exodus also provides a caching service that can duplicate content on servers in different regions, improving response time for a widely scattered group of users." "Exodus provides the Weather Channel with two to three times more capacity than it needs on an average day, and can easily add more. The Weather Channel has about 6 million page views a day, but expects 30 million to 40 million views when hurricanes start hitting in the next few weeks. Says Walrath, "As more people get on the Web, the price of being down for a day or even for a minute is becoming a really big deal."
