Technology Launch New ASP Architecture: Connection ASP
NEW YORK, Oct 6, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Global solution provides users with an end to end integrated,
seamless, transparent solution.
Leading online trade community builder Comercis, soon to be merged
with NewGold, Inc. (NASDAQ OTC/BB: NGLD) today announced a new solution
with IBM NUMA-Q, Electric Lightwave, RCG Information Technology, and
Compaq, aimed at giving the small to midsize business market a greatly
improved application and hosting platform.
This alliance, called Connection ASP, creates a new solution based on a
two-tier architecture that allows users to utilize either a single
operating system or the seamless operation of both UNIX and Windows NT,
running simultaneously. The newly created platform is capable of
running Windows NT and UNIX seamlessly through the IBM NUMACenter
system to meet the unique transactional needs and redundant nature of
the market. This new platform also includes Compaq's DISA architecture
for building scalable, highly available Internet applications and
hosting functional and operational business needs.
Connection ASP does not limit any business to a specific proprietary
architecture or platform that is in existence today. This flexibility
provides a solution that enables users to choose the functionality that
meets their specific business needs no matter what size the business.
"For the small business, this exciting launch provides the freedom to
use the operating system and Internet application solution, such as the
Comercis Business Office Suite to better suit their need," said Chris
Meaux, CEO of Comercis. "We can deliver a scalable and flexible
applications service platform that can grow with a business, and the
service level agreement - packet delivery, response time, and
guaranteed uptime needed to be a strong, reliable resource in any small
to mid-size business' day to day operations," he added.
Jeff Pancottine, VP of Worldwide Marketing for IBM NUMA-Q Brand said,
"The ability to run Windows NT in the data center was a critical
requirement for Comercis to meet the high demand for hosted
applications that run under Windows NT. At the same time, Comercis
needed a robust back-end solution that runs Unix. IBM NUMACenter
integrates both operating systems onto a single managed platform,
reducing the complexity and choice of operating system for Comercis
customers - mid-size and small businesses. Connection ASP will run its
applications on IBM NUMACenter."
RCG Information Technology will provide e-business consulting,
application development, implementation and outsourcing services in
this Strategic Alliance.
Robert Simplot, President and CEO of RCG Information Technology
endorsed the alliance saying, " As an information technology consulting
company, we are pleased to add this alliance to our portfolio of
technology based solutions. Our employees work with small and mid-sized
businesses in addition to the Fortune 1000, so we know first hand the
value that this partnered solution will bring to many of our clients."
Electric Lightwave, one of the nation's top five Internet backbone
providers, will provide fast and reliable Internet connectivity for the
various platform solutions. Electric Lightwave's president and chief
operating officer, Dave Sharkey said, "We believe this alliance
enhances our ability to provide a complete applications solution for
our customers. Each company in this alliance brings a unique set of
capabilities so that our customers can successfully conduct business
transactions over the Internet."
"Application hosting is a new, fast-paced, and challenging market.
Comercis needed a server platform that could grow with us and provide
seamless interoperability with the highest levels of performance and
uptime," said Meaux. "Compaq's ProLiant web servers and DISA
architecture fulfills these needs and helps us to provide the best
possible service to our customers."
"Compaq is excited that Comercis chose our industry leading ProLiant
server platform utilizing our DISA architecture," said Ray Villareal,
Vice President of North America Enterprise Solutions and Services,
Compaq Computer Corporation. "Application hosting is one of the fastest
growing areas of eBusiness. Comercis' choice shows that Compaq's
NonStop(r) eBusiness strategy continues to win through the power,
scalability, reliability, and availability of ProLiant servers."
