Applications to Infinium Customers
Infinium (NASDAQ:INFM), a provider of enterprise business solutions and services, today announced that it has selected IBM's (R) AS/400e(TM) enterprise server to power its ASP enterprise solution hosting centers.
AS/400e, the industry's leading data-transaction server, comes prepackaged with all the functionality Infinium's ASP enterprise solution hosting centers need to deliver fast, reliable, highly-available and secure solutions to its customers. Additional benefits include: the ability to run multiple applications simultaneously without performance problems; the ability to consolidate multiple servers to dramatically reduce solution center administration costs; and the ability to grow with customer demand, ensuring that Infinium will not outgrow its ASP offerings.
"AS/400s have a single, integrated security model that protects our ASP offerings," said Rick Bernard, CIO of Infinium. "When combined with its integrated firewall, support for all the leading security protocols, and its ability manage digital certificates, AS/400s provide the best possible protection to our ASP customers."
AS/400s are designed to run all the applications an Infinium ASP customer may need simultaneously. By consolidating AS/400s in its ASP solution centers, Infinium saves physical space, reduces complexity, downtime and maintenance costs, and increases solution center productivity.
"Customers signing-up for ASP offerings at AS/400-powered solution hosting centers like Infinium's can rest-assured that their applications will be available around the clock," said Tom Jarosh, general manager of IBM's Mid-market Server Division. "AS/400s offer near-legendary reliability, availability and security. Many AS/400s run for years without a single hour of unscheduled downtime. With a 99.9 plus percent availability, AS/400s provide Infinium, and their ASP customers, the operating power and efficiency necessary to compete
- and win - in their chosen markets."
