AMHERST, N.H., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Ektron today announced that as part of the company's commitment to offer a complete solution, customers can now deploy content management solutions in a private hosted environment. With hosting provider Verio, Ektron provides its customers a stable infrastructure to rapidly implement Ektron Content Management Solutions. The combined offering delivers enterprise Web content management functionality backed by the NTT/VERIO Global IP Network at an affordable monthly fee.
"We looked to Ektron for a solution to simplify our intranet management process while overcoming two challenges -- a downsized IT group and a limited budget," said Richard Brown, eHealth Manager/Sr. Web Developer, St. David's Healthcare. "Ektron CMS met our technology and budget requirements, and Ektron was also able to host the solution, saving us even more money. Additionally, I have peace of mind knowing that CMS product upgrades are being applied and that Ektron can get into the server quickly and respond to any issues immediately. In our busy production environment this is a great convenience," added Brown.
Web information is one of the most important assets of an organization. Organizations face the constant challenge of assuring consistent, accurate, and timely access to content. Ektron's CMS addresses all facets of this challenge by facilitating the creation, storage, reuse, and delivery of information with powerful tools and features. Ektron's hosting service also addresses the challenge of many small to mid-sized businesses that want to manage their Web content but don't have the budget or IT resources to support the solution.
"By choosing our hosted offering, organizations can rely on Verio's carrier-class network and global infrastructure to manage the hardware and provide the technical support needed to implement Ektron's content management solution," said Bill Rogers, CEO, Ektron. "The NTT/VERIO Global IP Network was a natural fit to host Ektron's robust content management solution, enabling our customers to focus on the application and not the implementation and support."
The Ektron hosting service includes committed bandwidth delivered on the NTT/VERIO tier one network, 24X7 monitoring, back-up and restore services, Ektron product support, dedicated Web server hard disk space and dedicated database server space.
