Information businesses around the globe are rushing to hang their shingle on the World Wide Web (WWW). Most are counting on web presence to boost their name recognition and enhance their image as worldwide enterprises, with the hopes of forming new customer relationships and ultimately generating more sales. Many are telling phenomenal and surprising success stories. With over 1,000,000 hits per day, Novell's corporate web site, www.novell.com, is one of those success stories.
Novell's corporate web site is strategic to the company, providing visitors a view of the company and presenting up-to-the-minute information about our products, solutions, programs, and channel partners. It's also an interactive site where communication and feedback can take place between the visitor and Novell. Like many successful sites, www.novell.com handles a lot of traffic and is constantly growing. It is also susceptible to all of the traditional problems related to hosting a corporate web site, including Internet security, 24-hour-a-day, 7-day per week (24x7) reliability, and performance. In fact, there's quite an investment of time and money required just to keep a large and dynamic web site up and running.
