WFFT Uses EMC-Based High Availability to Provide Web Hosting Services, In Joint Venture With Technology Alliance Group
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 8 /CNW/ -- What's For Free Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WFFT - news), a technology-based marketing and branding company, announced today it will launch the next phase in its commercialization and revenue model, offering a series of high availability web hosting services to partners and businesses.
What's For Free Technologies (WFFT) will work in conjunction with Technology Alliance Group (TAG) to be the leading providers of a new level of affordable, high-availability hosting services, not previously accessible to dot-coms or small to medium businesses. The core platform providing managed, hosting services for UNIX and NT Web clients will be the E-Infostructure, supplied by EMC Corporation.
"The technology services What's For Free will offer are unparalleled in our region and sector. It further defines WFFT as one of the leading technology companies in the Southwest. As recently stated by EMC, this is the hottest technology growth area, in a $100 billion market," stated Avery Martinez, Chief Technology Officer at WFFT. "Our partnership with TAG produces a new avenue for companies concerned with the boom in eCommerce and web traffic to improve their sites availability, reliability and take advantage of our technology expertise."
WFFT will offer its web hosting and managed data storage services to small, medium and Fortune 100 businesses. The partnership with TAG will also allow What's For Free to bring its clients several other EMC-based technologies. WFFT will leverage EMC's industry-leading data protection software, Symmetrix Enterprise Storage systems and Timefinder software. These options dramatically reduce a client's corporate site disaster recovery budget while improving cost effectiveness.
TAG President, Dave Lawson said, "Our mainframe class infrastructure is well positioned to support these offerings in concert with WFFT and EMC. These products complement our focus on providing reliable access to data, applications, hardware and networks making this offering unparalleled in the marketplace today."
In addition, WFFT announced today that it has been accepted as a member of the "EMC Proven" E-Infostructure Program. This program, which defines the highest standards for information availability, scalability and management, is another way WFFT demonstrates its commitment to bringing top of the line technology to its partners.
