Freei.Net is purchasing hundreds of Intel's LB440GX 2U Rack Server Platforms as the Internet service provider continues to experience explosive growth in its national subscriber base. Freei.Net is now the nation's second-largest free Internet service provider, and the seventh-largest Internet service provider overall, with more than 1,250,000 subscribers. Intel's new-generation processors and platforms will allow Freei.Net to expand even further, while simultaneously offering improved service to existing customers.

''We hope to continue to work with the company to provide the highest level of Internet service to Freei.Net customers.'' Intel's server is scalable, high-speed, and can reliably handle the most demanding of front-end service requests -- individual mode for small audiences or parallel mode for large traffic spikes.

In addition to fast processors, the LB440GX is loaded with fast memory, a fast storage subsystem and a fast network connection. As more users get on the Internet, the servers can be clustered, load-balanced, brought online on the fly and easily managed. In short, Intel's servers represent an ideal solution for a rapidly growing ISP like Freei.Net. ''The LB440GX flawlessly supports our Free BSD* operating system,'' said Steve Bourg, Freei.Net's Chief Technical Officer.
