theglobe.com Selects NetworkAppliance's NetCache to Deliver High Speed Access to 9 Million Users April 7, 1999 09:03 AM SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 1999--Network Appliance, Inc. (NTAP), the leading provider of dedicated cache appliances for building the Internet's infrastructure, today announced that theglobe.com (TGLO), one of the world's leading online communities, has implemented Network Appliance(TM) NetCache -- enabling theglobe.com to offer superior response time to its end users and serve significantly more traffic without adding new infrastructure. According to theglobe.com, each NetCache(TM)appliance is estimated to do the work of five standard Web servers, resulting in very large capital and floor space savings. "NetCache has enabled us to handle significantly more traffic by increasing our capacity and allowing us to decrease response time for our customers," said Dean Daniels, chief operating officer at theglobe.com. "We selected the NetCache appliance because its high performance architecture can scale smoothly with our rapidly growing capacity requirements." "We are pleased to be working with theglobe.com to meet their Web acceleration needs," said Tom Mendoza, vice president, sales and marketing at Network Appliance. "NetCache helps leading content providers like theglobe.com offer superior speed to their end users therefore providing an important competitive advantage." Deployment of NetCaches as Web accelerators allows content providers to offer very high levels of service by dramatically improving response times, and by providing advanced features such as guaranteed freshness of content across distributed sites. NetCache also brings the advantages of Web acceleration to enterprises needing to employ distributed Web servers for fast, worldwide access to Intranet information and applications.
