drsvelte,

Bumpy week. We are upgrading almost very thing about our network. For a short time indu did go wacko on one half the servers. Servers are being upgraded to handle new 5.0 features. Also new (and faster) multicast ticker plant datafeed is running on one of three data centers. This is a project we have spend over a year on which will provide unlimited growth on our internet ticker plant to feed our Online servers. With exchanges like Nasdaq hitting a record 1.4 billion share day this week this is an important improvement.

We are also turning up a 4th data center to be fully on line this week. This site at Abovenet has peering into over 100 ISP providers. This means when the Internet does have any problem these connections should minimize any impact. A 5th data center will be turned up this summer. The new site will double our current quote server capacity.

DBC continues to invest heavily to improve this technology.

Chuck T.
